About
Colonial metaphors included such images as bringing "light" to dark, barbaric places; "journeying" to uncharted territories; and "educating" native populations. Such metaphors are politically charged and assume the superiority of the colonizing nation. This book studies how Rushdie, as a postcolonial writer, has reworked and reimagined colonial metaphors in his works. The volume looks at the overarching metaphors of migration, translation, hybridity, blasphemy, and globalization in Rushdie's novels.
