These narratives illustrate the struggle of bridging the gap between individual and collective shame. In my thesis I focus on the representation of this individual and collective shame through the analysis of the personal histories of the main characters.34enPost-colonial literatureshameRushdieCoetzeediplomamunkaDEENK Témalista::Irodalomtudomány
