Authors : Emad Jalil Shahid الزويني .
Abstract
This study investigates Naipaul's novel A Bend in the River, which is an influencing example of Postcolonialism's effects including 'Hybridity' and 'Unhomeliness'. Naipaul argues that even if the natives have become exiles in their own nation, so unsettled are the impulses of the ruler. Actually, Naipaul is a representation of all postcolonial regimes. This work tries to show whether Naipaul's thoughts are racist and malicious for Western white liberals or not and to what extent. Homi Bhabha observes in his book Of Mimicry and Man that hybrid in possession of a "'partial' presence…almost the same, but not quite"(86). In Locations of Culture, Homi Bhabha portrays hybrid as a type of 'difference' which results from being at "the rim of an ‘in-between’reality" (19). Thus, in A Bend in the River, African people cannot enable to administer themselves and can never be able to settle in their country. Essentially, The novel is set in an African state which is unspecified recently in the independent state is ruled and governed by 'Big Man' who calls for creating social and peace, but "The Big Man" is a dictortor man who belives that the nationalization concerning emotional state belongs to western culture. The countries of African nations are confronted with the problem of selecting their traditional present or past.
