Gurnah’s Paradise and Ambivalent Native Identities under Colonialism| Postcolonialism

In this brief video I discuss, with a reference to Gurnah’s novel “Paradise” the importance of ambivalent individual and collective identities within the colonial context.
A good book on this subject: Albert Memmi: The Colonizer and the Colonized. amzn.to/3QyfnOP

What is Postcolonialism:
Since I claim to be a postcolonialism scholar, I think it is apt to include a brief description of my field of study. In my view, Postcolonialism ( also written as Post Colonialism or Post-Colonialism) is a dynamic field of literary study that focuses on the history of colonialism and native responses to the colonial policies and life after colonialism formally ends. The field of postcolonialism also offers insights into the literature and culture of the the former European colonies and their struggles after the end of colonialism.

[@troublemakers9760]

you're the best, thank you 👍

[@masoodraja]

You are welcome.

[@nomanch1605]

Sir, please make video on Neitzsche.

[@masoodraja]

Thank you. Sorry, I have no expertise on Nietzsche.

[@qunfayaqun777]

1-How far the ambivalent identities are different from Hybridized identities?
2- My second question is whether this ambivalence is caused by the hybridized background of the characters in the novel?
Please sir.

[@masoodraja]

I think the main difference is that all identities are hybrid. In this case ambivalence is because of their location within the economy and power and not necessarily in essentialist terms.

[@qunfayaqun777]

@@masoodraja thank you sir

[@anthonymichael5217]

Please Sir, if I am asked to discuss colonialism for example in a test, relating to the book, can I explain it just like you did?

[@masoodraja]

You can but if you use my words then, to be ethical, you could cite me as a source.

[@sanskritijhalkau8691]

Sir, please suggest some topics or title for research in paradise.

[@masoodraja]

Thank you. I am sorry, I do not have any suggestions. That is something researchers have to figure out for themselves, as it requires a knowledge of what is important to them.

[@sanskritijhalkau8691]

I would like to email you sir. Can I have your email id?

[@masoodraja]
