Colonial Consciousness in the Novels of V.S. Naipaul

V.S. Naipaul, as an expatriate writer, enjoys a unique position. He has imaginatively portrayed the perils of immigration within the themes of rootlessness, dispossession and isolation. As a West Indian novelist, Naipaul is placed in an ambiguous situation which results in a characteristic complexity of feeling in his attitude to human experience. One of the major themes of Naipaul's work is the colonial artist discovering his own artistic potentialities. The reality of colonial and postcolonial societies as represented in the novels of V.S. Naipaul. In this book an attempt has been made to articulate the predicament of colonial modernity in various novels of V.S. Naipaul.
