"A political anxiety"

Naipaul, or the unlikely beginning of community

Julián Jiménez Heffernan

pp. 195-217

Abstract

I lis narratives embody their negative energies and prejudicial perspectives with a ferocious passion that is, at once, dogmatic and diagnostic. The reader is given unusual insights into the psychic and affective structures that inform the politics of everyday life as it is lived in the midst of the protocols of colonial power and its contest of cultures. ( “Adagio” 373)
