About the Book
Theorising Resistance: Narratives in History and Politics offers a compelling collection of essays that examine the multifaceted discourse of resistance across literature, history, and politics. With a thematic and interdisciplinary approach, the book delves into the complex interplay between individual expression and national narratives, past and present, and the abstract ideals of freedom, justice, and harmony—especially through the lens of the global South.
The essays explore how resistance is both a moral responsibility and an intellectual pursuit—deeply embedded in artistic expression and the evolution of thought. Confronting hegemonic and authoritarian structures, resistance often leads to censorship, exile, persecution, and silence. Yet, it is precisely this courage of conviction and integrity that shapes intellectual dissent and gives voice to the conscience of society.
Key questions raised include: How does a writer navigate myth and language to challenge injustice? In what ways can literature and narrative counter political oppression? How do historical and cultural forces shape acts of resistance?
Ideal for scholars of literature, cultural studies, political theory, and postcolonial thought, Theorising Resistance provides both a theoretical framework and practical insights into the politics of dissent and creative defiance.
