Passage: Post-colonial literature is often characterized by 'writing back' to the center. For centuries, the stories of colonized peoples were told by Western authors, who used them as mere scenery or symbols. Writing back involves reclaiming the narrative voice, telling stories where the formerly colonized are the protagonists of their own history. This is not just a change in plot; it is a change in the structure of knowledge. By centering the 'margins,' these authors challenge the idea that there is a single, 'universal' human experience defined by the West.
Based on the passage, which of the following works would best be described as 'writing back'?
- A textbook on world history that includes a chapter on the British Empire.
- A travelogue written by a European explorer detailing the strange customs of a remote island.
- A British novel about a colonial administrator who feels lonely and misunderstood in Africa.
- An epic poem from a Caribbean author that retells Homer’s Odyssey from the perspective of a local fisherman.
