History and Myth: Postcolonial Dimensions – eBook

This anthology, ‘History and Myth: Postcolonial Dimensions‘ (PDF), seeks to interrogate and dismantle the colonially structured symmetrical interpretations of the histories and mythological narratives of the former European colonies through depolarization, pluriversality, and border thinking. Here, scholars from different parts of the world have addressed the concepts of history and myth from different perspectives and spatiotemporal zones, which add to the global value of the ebook.

World History

It has been argued in this volume that the colonially fashioned binaries highly influence the understanding of postcolonial histories and myths in the contemporary era: valid/ invalid, inclusive/exclusive, relevant/irrelevant, civilized/barbaric, good/bad, etc., which continue to preserve the epistemic citadels of coloniality and selectively promote such historical and mythological narratives that celebrate the superiority of the Global North and the inferiority of the Global South. This ebook will be of particular interest to scholars, researchers, teachers, and those interested in understanding history, postcolonial studies, cultural studies, literature, decolonial studies, and sociology.
