However, as the Soviet Union was collapsing, postcolonial critics briefly redeployed the term Second World to denote peripheral settler colonies like Australia. This essay examines the juxtaposition of these two uses of the term \"Second World\" through a discussion of Katharine Susannah Prichard's 1929 novel Coonardoo and the history of its misrepresentation of Australian Indigenous people. Though Prichard sought to be sympathetic to the Indigenous woman at the center of the novel's plot, Coonardoo, the teleological perspective of her authorial attitude towards the land precludes this sympathy. This essay examines how Prichard's teleological view is connected to socialist-realist attitudes and settler collectives; how Prichard's novel both continues and inflects settler ideology now in the neoliberal era; and how teleological settler histories of the land can no longer presume the continued solidity of the land in the wake of the Anthropocene.","PeriodicalId":51893,"journal":{"name":"ARIEL-A REVIEW OF INTERNATIONAL ENGLISH LITERATURE","volume":"54 1","pages":"25 - 52"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43589206","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ghosh opens the chapter with a cursory mention of Gandhi but does not explain how he situates Gandhi’s politics in the tradition of vitalism (235). Similarly, in his discussions about recent court victories such as the verdict by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights that the government of Ecuador violated the Sarayaku people’s rights by “permitting an energy company to prospect for oil on their land without prior consultation” (237) and the granting of legal personhood to the Whanganui River (238), Ghosh does not analyze the relationship between vitalism and the courts, which he claims “are among the most redoubtable citadels of official modernity” (238). Is the extension of the legal rights of personhood a triumph of a vitalist politics, or is it proof that modernity is not monolithic but rather a complex structure comprising both mechanistic and vitalist worldviews? Such problematization might destabilize the dichotomy of modernity and vitalism that is the very foundation of the book. These are, however, minor issues that can be set aside for what is a timely intervention in contemporary discourses on climate change and its accelerating and widely growing socioeconomic effects. The book puts forward a new understanding of vitalism, which is well worth examining more closely. Ghosh writes in a jargon-free language that should be accessible to both academic scholars and curious readers interested in the subject. The book is written in Ghosh’s characteristically lively prose with narrative twists and turns that make it read more like a suspense thriller than elusive high theory. As a text that transgresses multiple genres, The Nutmeg’s Curse is both a stark warning against climate change denialism and a welcome addition to the ever-growing body of non-fiction about the present planetary crisis.","PeriodicalId":51893,"journal":{"name":"ARIEL-A REVIEW OF INTERNATIONAL ENGLISH LITERATURE","volume":"54 1","pages":"163 - 166"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43412888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Breadwinner, written for young adult audiences, is frequently employed in North American multicultural curricula. Drawing on anthropological research, I argue that Ellis' imperfect and sometimes contradictory representations of the burqa and the chador initiate a dialogue about religious and cultural practices that models non-paternalistic feminist intervention into global women's oppression. Ellis' engagement with Afghan women's struggles avoids the two extremes—silence and paternalism—often present in western feminist reactions to global social justice issues. In analyzing the novel's representations of Muslim veiling practices, I demonstrate that Ellis productively grapples with her own western feminist presumptions in order to respectfully portray Afghan women as agential rather than implying that they need western women to save them. As such, The Breadwinner is a fruitful site for pedagogical and feminist discussions about global activism. Ultimately, I argue that feminism-in-action requires repeated attempts to understand global counterparts as a necessary impetus for political and social change.","PeriodicalId":51893,"journal":{"name":"ARIEL-A REVIEW OF INTERNATIONAL ENGLISH LITERATURE","volume":"54 1","pages":"109 - 81"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45869870","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, the political message that is present in all her writing. By looking at the various adaptations of her novels for stage and screen I track the slippage that can occur between her political intent and her sometimes more simplified reception amongst white British audiences. Is her work polemical, conciliatory, or both? I also highlight the changes in attitude that have occurred amongst the professionals involved in the different adaptations of her novels and what this can tell us about shifts in wider British society around issues of race and Britain's colonial history. Second, I look at Andrea's literary style. By exploring the issues of child abandonment and adoption that occur in several of her works I try to clarify her motives and intentions around the use of these plot lines. I argue that there is no overt symbolism intended in those works or in any of her writing, but that these events grow out of her essentially realistic use of fiction to document events and attitudes that were commonplace in the times and places she was writing about. My approach in writing this article is unique in the sense that it is personal rather than academic. As Andrea's husband, I witnessed the creation of all her works. My approach is part memoir and part insight based on my close knowledge of Andrea. In my opinion, her background and ancestry are key to understanding her work and I explain something of what we know of them. My aim is to provide an informed contribution to the existing scholarship around her work.","PeriodicalId":51893,"journal":{"name":"ARIEL-A REVIEW OF INTERNATIONAL ENGLISH LITERATURE","volume":"54 1","pages":"135 - 158"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48273103","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nevertheless, both the novel and its critical analysis display a discernible lack of focus on the issue of sexual violation. In this essay, I undertake a close reading and feminist analysis of one character, May Price. I examine how Ghosh represents her in the novel and argue that critics have read her reductively, if at all. When she is discussed, critics either ignore her identity as a foreign woman who is sexually violated by the Indian protagonists (Tridib and the narrator) or problematically couch the incidents of sexual violation in the vocabulary of romantic love and consent. The narrative, focalized through its patriarchal narrator, whose perspective is obviously created through authorial choices, allows the character no agency to protest these violations and no space for redressal or any sustained reactive expression of opposition. Rather, May's hasty resolutions, absolute forgiveness, and belated consent seemingly turn these violations into seductions, exonerating the assaulters entirely. I highlight that The Shadow Lines and attendant critical reflections often choose to examine questions of nation, identity, and memory, which are unquestionably significant, at the expense of the representation and agency of women. In order to address this gap, gendered power dynamics need to be made central and not peripheral to postcolonial scholarship and discussion.","PeriodicalId":51893,"journal":{"name":"ARIEL-A REVIEW OF INTERNATIONAL ENGLISH LITERATURE","volume":"54 1","pages":"103 - 129"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43154500","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I employ Homi Bhabha's reformulation of Sigmund Freud's unheimlich, or \"unhomely,\" to interrogate how both novels complicate ideas of literal home and island home as places of fun, comfort, and safety. Just as the nostalgic image of the adoring mother discombobulates Kincaid's Annie, the figure of the physically absent mother plagues Callender's Caroline. Both characters live in symbolically haunted houses. Additionally, shame lurks in the corners of Caroline's psyche as she comes to recognize her budding same-sex desires, which put her at risk of being ghosted, or erased, as a valued member of her community. Extending the psychic trauma from the narrators to the histories of their islands, and relying on critical work on the Gothic by Avery F. Gordon, Maisha Wester, and others, this essay excavates politically charged depictions of landscapes for signs of literal spirits and evidence of haunting by slavery, colonialism, and the neocolonial systems of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.","PeriodicalId":51893,"journal":{"name":"ARIEL-A REVIEW OF INTERNATIONAL ENGLISH LITERATURE","volume":"54 1","pages":"101 - 73"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41425501","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
