Guyanese Fiction
ai
This book investigates the problem¬
atical historical location of the term
religion and examines how this loca¬
tion has affected the analytical reading
of
postcolonial fiction
and poetry. The
adoption of the term religion outside
of a Western Enlightenment and Chris¬
tian context should therefore be treated
with caution. Within
postcolonial
literary criticism, there has been either
a silencing of the category as a result of
this caution or an uncritical and essen-
tializing adoption of the term religion .
It is argued in the present study that
a vital aspect of how writers articulate
their histories of colonial contact, mi¬
ration, slavery, and the re-forging of
identities in the wake of these histo¬
ries is illuminated by the classificatory
term religion . Aspects of
postcolonial
theory and Religious Studies theory are
combined to provide fresh insights into
the literature, thereby expanding the
field of
postcolonial
literary criticism.
The way in which writers remember
history through writing is central to the
way in which religion is theorized and
articulated; the act of remembrance can
be persuasively interpreted in terms of
religion
.
The title Memory and Myth
therefore refers to both the syncretic
mythology of Guyana, and the key
themes in a new critical understand¬
ing of religion . Particular attention is
devoted to Wilson Harris s novel Jones¬
town, alongside theoretical and historic¬
al material on the actual Jonestown
tragedy, to the mesmerizing effect of
the Anancy tales on contemporary writ¬
ers, particularly the poet John Agard;
and to the work of the Indo-Guyanese
writer David Dabydeen and his elusive
character
Manu.
