Mini-Monographs in Literary and Cultural Studies

Using Kamel Daoud's The Meursault Investigation and Juan Gabriel Vasquez's The Secret History of Costaguana, this book asks you to serve as the jury on euro-modernism, specifically the canonical texts Camus's The Stranger and Conrad's Nostromo. The book reveals the extent to which euro-modernist aesthetics was culpable in rationalising colonialism.
