内容説明

This study explores the topic of religious discourse from within the context of postcolonial studies. It uniquely analyzes two novels from two very different contexts, Guatemala and Sudan, to prove there is a profoundly problematic area within the "ethical purchase" of postcolonial studies. It relates this problem to the "magical realism" labels that is applied to various postcolonial fiction.
