Brusasco Paola - Writing Within/ Without/ About Sri Lanka - Discourses Of Cartography History And Translation In Selected Works By Michael Ondaatje - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: Paola Brusasco's study offers an original insight into Sri Lankan literature in English and an exploration of cultural social and linguistic issues at the basis of the country's ethnic conflict. By focussing on two distinctive and representative writers both Burghers yet with different personal histories Brusasco confronts issues of cartography history and language all contributing to a specific definition of identity. Both Ondaatje and Muller are "outsiders" the former because of his diasporic existence the latter because of his eccentricity within the reality of a divided country where the legacy of British colonialism and the process of redefinition following independence in 1948, as well as matters of geography and history become crucial to writers.
