| Sumario: | Chapter 3 of the book "Canonization, Colonization, Decolonization: A Comparative Study of Political and Critical Works by Minority Writers" is presented. It discusses mimicry and madness as two prominent products of colonialism depicted through V. S. Naipul's "The Mimic Men" and Jean Rhys' "Wide Sargasso Sea." It demonstrates how some colonial apparatuses act as agents of disorder and mimicry in the life of Ralph Singh, Naipul's mimic man. It explores a post-colonial perspective on the theme of alienation in Rhys' work. |
