The exam should concern two of the authors below, whom we have read under the rubric of “postcolonialism.” What features of each writer’s work seem to you to correspond with descriptions of the purposes of postcolonial literature? OR does the writer’s work seem more closely related to one of the earlier “movements” we studied, modernism, the avant-garde, or postmodernism?
NOTE: The extent to which your exam offers comparison-and-contrast of the authors you select is up to you; do as much or as little as you want.
