and the key to understanding the ethics and
aesthetics of the contemporary world-
Drawing on thinkers such as Jean-Paul

there is an event of shame that brings

presents a startling theory:
the practices ol postcolonial literature depend
upon arid repeat the same structures of
thought and perception that made colonialism
possible in the first place. As long as those
structures remain in place, literature and
critical thinking will remain steeped in shame.

demands a literature and a criticism that
acknowledge their own ethical deficiency
without seeking absolution from it.
