Subject: RE: Personification of Colonialism


I don't know about "advocating." This word is neither in the original 
inquiry, nor in my reply.  Rebecca asked for "any examples of novels 
where a person from a colonised (or once colonised) place has gone to 
a colonising (or formerly colonising) country..." This description 
literally fits the two main characters of the novel. The rest of the 
sentence, "... and where their impressions ..." is a matter of 
interpretation of the novel.
