Crusoe’s crusade: Marginalia to the war against the devil in Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe
ABSTRACT Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe is a darkly ingenious bestseller. The eponymous hero of the book, in his very name, indexes not only the pursuit of profit (”Kreutzer”), but also hegemonic cultural pretensions (“cross”), and oppressive claims to power (“cruiser”). The three volumes of the novel clandestinely promote European colonialism, Christian ascendancy, and white supremacy. Their message, a cover for slavery and genocide under the veil of a supposed civilizing mission, has the result of calling for a new Holy War (“crusade”). Against this backdrop, the political economy of the “Robinsonade” turns out to be anything but the solitary business of a stranded castaway. Instead, it manifests as the exploratory and exploitative world tour of an imperial strategist. Authenticated by the encrypted scheme in the naming of its hero, the “Robinsonade” is also the foundation of a “Crus(oe)-ade”, a prelude to colonization as well as global dominance.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Postcolonial Writing is an academic journal devoted to the study of literary and cultural texts produced in various postcolonial locations around the world. It explores the interface between postcolonial writing, postcolonial and related critical theories, and the economic, political and cultural forces that shape contemporary global developments. In addition to criticism focused on literary fiction, drama and poetry, we publish theoretically-informed articles on a variety of genres and media, including film, performance and other cultural practices, which address issues of relevance to postcolonial studies. In particular we seek to promote diasporic voices, as well as creative and critical texts from various national or global margins.
