| Zusammenfassung: | "This book likens writers' incessant focus on racism, negative ethnicity, patriarchy, and social stratification in societies to a naïve physician who prescribes analgesics to treat symptoms while the the underlying cause of the disease seethes in the blood. In the same way, the person who consistently blames their reckless conduct and shabbiness misses the point if they do not transform the actual cause of the problem: the mind. While most literary scholars problematize gender disparities, racial and political othering, oppression, environment degradation, education matters, poor parenting and governance, they tend to disregard the root cause: modernism. This book finds a gap in this grey area to address the authentic cause of the symptoms that most literary writers and scholars treat. Pertinent modernist tenets such as bureaucracy, the nation state, systematization and rationality, and dualism are at the heart of racism, corruption and other aforementioned symptoms. It is the contention of this study that postmodernism offers a comprehensive understanding of modernism to mitigate its effects on society"-- |
