Description | This thesis analyzes how internal oppression, or nihilism, has emerged amongst many of the Caricom community. It focuses on the history of colonialism and the psychological destruction it has left across the Caribbean. The author suggests that multicultural texts are the first step in eliminating this type of nihilism, with the focus on two novels The Autobiography of My Mother and The Lonely Londoners. | en_US |
