Often seen as merely escapist, nostalgia also offers solace and self-understanding for those displaced by the larger movements of our time. Walder analyses the writings of some of those entangled in the aftermath of empire, tracing the hidden connections underlying their yearnings for a common identity and a homeland, and their struggles to recover their histories. Through a series of comparative reflections upon the representation in literary and related cultural forms of memory, he shows how admitting the past into the present through nostalgia enables former colonial or diasporic subjects to gain a deeper understanding of the networks of power within which they are caught in the modern world and beyond which it may yet be possible to move. Considering authors as varied as V.S Naipaul, J.G. Ballard, Doris Lessing, W.G. Sebald, and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, as well as versions of 'Bushman' song, Walder pursues the often wayward, ambiguous paths of nostalgia as it has been represented beyond, but also within, Europe, so as to identify some of those processes of communal and individual experience that constitute the present and, by implication, the future."--Provided by publisher. 000445891 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000445891 650_0 $$aCommonwealth fiction (English)$$xHistory and criticism. 000445891 650_0 $$aEnglish fiction$$y20th century$$xHistory and criticism. 000445891 650_0 $$aNostalgia in literature. 000445891 650_0 $$aPostcolonialism in literature. 000445891 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aWalder, Dennis.$$tPostcolonial nostalgias.$$dNew York : Routledge, 2011$$z9780415445337$$w(DLC) 2010017580$$w(OCoLC)212849297 000445891 830_0 $$aRoutledge research in postcolonial literatures ;$$v31. 000445891 85280 $$bebk$$hEBSCOhost 000445891 85640 $$3EBSCOhost$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=339993$$zOnline Access 000445891 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:445891$$pGLOBAL_SET 000445891 980__ $$aEBOOK 000445891 980__ $$aBIB 000445891 982__ $$aEbook 000445891 983__ $$aOnline 000445891 994__ $$a92$$bISE 000445891 999__ $$z634745059282517350
