Last Stop Before Antarctica: The Bible and Postcolonialism in AustraliaSheffield Academic Press, 2001 - 219 páginas Forays from a colonized continent, casting a sharp eye over globalization, exploitation, exodus, exile, home, identity, essentialism, translation and opposition criticism, all with copious reference to postcolonial theory. Why has the Bible been an absent partner in postcolonial criticism? What might be the reason for such myopia? Roland Boer seeks a presence for the Bible in postcolonial criticism through a series of forays, casting a sharp eye over questions such as globalization, exploitation, exodus, exile, home, identity, essentialism, translation and opposition. The book covers theoretical literature on postcolonialism, the Bible, explorer journals, hybrid fiction and indigenous language, all with a focus on Australia. It closes by reflecting on the strange dialectic whereby the Bible itself has a distinct role in the production of postcolonialism. |
