| Sumario: | "This study depicts the traumatic condition of the formerly colonised Indigenous people of Africa and Canada. The postcolonial trauma novels Tomson Highway's Kiss of the Fur Queen (1998) and Tsitsi Dangarembga's Nervous Conditions (1988) are first-hand accounts of colonial experience under the governance of the British Empire of the second half of the twentieth century. The semi-autobiographical novels bring up the voices of the formerly silenced natives and are pioneering accounts of the Native perception of Western intrusion. The narratives portray the upsetting experiences of the era of colonisation and explore the insidious consequences of living in the midst of historical change." |
