The Dialogue of Cultures in Postcolonial English Literature: Reclaiming Voice and Identity

Author(s) Mr. DEVA KUMAR DAS
Country India
Abstract The postcolonial English literature has been described as a strong field of cultural negotiation, identity assertion, and ideological resistance. Postcolonial authors use the language of their former colonizers and practice a constantly shifting, continually evolving conversation between two distinct cultural systems. As the current paper will show, the authors such as Chinua Achebe, Salman Rushdie, Jean Rhys, Arundhati Roy, and Zadie Smith deconstruct the colonial discourse and reclaim the native, mixed identities. Based on the postcolonial theories of Edward Said, Homi K. Bhabha, Gayatri Spivak, and Frantz Fanon, the paper will discuss how the writers oppose cultural hegemony and redefine English literary tradition. It investigates how the postcolonial texts intertextually engage with the Western canon, as well as borrow and manipulate the colonial-era languages, and generate counter-narratives that are founded on indigenous world views. In so doing, this literature not only deconstructs colonial epistemologies but also results in a pluralistic construction of global identity. The paper points out that the argument of cultures in postcolonial English writing is not only reactionary, but also creative, creating new forms of expression that represent the dynamics of historical memory, diaspora, and cultural hybridity.
