- Decolonization Agonistics in Postcolonial Fiction challenges the prevailing western-originated concepts of postcoloniality and postcolonial cultural/literary theory on the grounds that behind their fashionable emancipatory rhetoric they actually submerge Third World anti-colonialist writing under Western strategic calculations for the post-cold war era. In place of the homogenizing approach which lumps together all the world's literature outside the male-authored texts of the major European powers, it introduces important distinctions between the literature of Europe's temporarily disadvantaged insiders, the imperial-outpost literatures of the European diaspora in the Americas and Australasia, and the decolonization literatures of third-world peoples and ethnic minorities which constitute the West's third-world underbellies. Emphasizing the distinctiveness of the decolonization tradition, it develops an alternative postcolonial mode of critique which emphasizes the cultural, historical and ideological determinations of the decolonization novel, as well as a critical model to guide comparative critiques of decolonization novels from different cultures.
