The Event of Postcolonial Shame by Timothy Bewes Princeton UP 2011

Description: Drawing on thinkers such as Jean-Paul Sartre, Frantz Fanon, Theodor Adorno, and Gilles Deleuze, Bewes argues that in literature there is an "event" of shame that brings together ethical and aesthetic tensions. He analyzes works by J.M. Coetzee, Joseph Conrad, Nadine Gordimer, V.S. Naipaul, Caryl Phillips, and others. Bewes claims that the practices of postcolonial literature depend upon and repeat the same structures of thought and perception that made colonialism possible in the first place.
