Globalization and Literature

M. Habib, Research Scholar

Abstract

The present study analyses the relationship between post-colonialism and globalization, and why globalization is called neocolonialism, how do Ngugi wa Thiong’o, Arvind Adiga and other literary figures engage with neocolonialism and globalization. The present study is analytical and qualitative in nature.

Keywords: Colonialism, Globalization, literature, neocolonialism, and Post colonialism.

Introduction

Globalization is a very difficult concept to define, essentially because the term or concept has come to refer to a gamut of interlocking variables and trends so much so that once the term is mentioned it evokes a lot of passion and emotion. Whereas the dominant perception of globalization in Western Europe and North America is the existence of vast opportunities for world economic development and significant contribution to improving people’s condition of existence, the Third World perception of globalization is that of a dangerous process that increases inequality within and among states. We can say that globalization is a complex process and phenomenon of antinomies and dialectics: Integrating and fragmenting the world, uniformity and localization, increased material prosperity and deepening misery and homogenization and hegemony.
