Colonial and post-colonial discourse in the novels of Yom Sang-sop, Chinua Achebe and Salman Rushdie

This dissertation examines colonial and post-colonial discourse in the works of Yom Sang-sop of Korea, of Chinua Achebe of Nigeria and of Salman Rushdie of Indian subcontinent. Since much of the critical attention on colonial discourse has been focused on western narratives, this study aims to shed a different light on the subject by approaching it from the perspectives of the colonized.
