"The Indian Imagination focuses on literary developments in English both in the colonial and postcolonial periods of Indian history. This study argues that the two phases of history - like the two phases of Indian writing in English - together represent the sociohistorical process of colonization and decolonization and the affirmation of identity, and that no interpretation of postcoloniality can be sustained in the larger debate on human freedom without reference to coloniality."--BOOK JACKET.
