It employs a rigorous analytical lens to examine the construction of identities, stereotypes, and mythical fantasies within postcolonial societies. Spanning a wide array of themes, including the appropriation and manipulation of language, the illusions of decolonialization, and the enduring influence of nationalism, the book forefronts its focus on how these myths perpetuate, challenge, and repurpose colonial binaries to shape the postcolonial self. Through a series of essays that examine narratives of emigrants in Argentina, the colonial mythology in the Dodecanese in Italy, and the mythico-narratives of island insularity in contemporary Sri Lanka, among others, this volume underscores the pivotal role of indigenous studies in fostering a postcolonial consciousness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book appeals to scholars and researchers with a keen interest in post-colonial studies, cultural studies, literature, history, political science, and sociology, seeking to unravel the complex web of narratives that shape our understanding of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 453g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032273068\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":45179478180090,"sku":"9781032273068","price":42.83,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_c171fba1-75d4-45ed-ac04-a074e3e19bf2.jpg?v=1707754143","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/histories-myths-and-decolonial-interventions-a-planetary-resistance-9781032273068","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
