You can find this theme in quite a lot of V.S. Naipaul. Bruce King
mentioned An Area of Darkness; see also In A Free State (many
bodily fluids, including obsessions about 'native' excremental
rites).

What fun you're going to have with this project!

PS - I have to relocate to Pittsburgh for a few months, due to family
illness. Does anyone know of any off-line discussion groups, etc, on
postcolonial issues (perhaps at the Univ. of Pittsburgh)?
