Criminal Cities: The Postcolonial Novel and Cathartic Crime - Cultural Frames, Framing Culture
Molly Slavin
Why does crime feature at the centre of so many postcolonial novels set in major cities? This book interrogates the connections that can be found between narratives of crime, cities, and colonialism to bring to light the ramifications of this literary preoccupation, as well as possibilities for cultural, aesthetic, and political catharsis.
