2130_American Lit Module _Introduction
During the period from 1865-1914, the United States underwent a transformation from a largely rural, agricultural nation to a more urban, industrialized one. This was driven by territorial expansion across North America and abroad, large-scale immigration from Europe, and rapid industrialization. Literature of the period largely took a realistic or naturalistic approach, reflecting new urban and industrial settings as well as social issues like wealth disparity. Realism aimed to present truthful depictions of life, while naturalism saw human actions as shaped by biological and environmental factors beyond one's control.

Frantz fanon intro
Frantz Fanon was a French psychiatrist and philosopher who wrote about the psychological impact of colonialism on black communities. In his 1952 book Black Skin, White Masks, Fanon used psychoanalysis to argue that colonial subjugation caused black people to develop feelings of dependency, inadequacy, and an inferiority complex when living in a white world. He believed this led to a divided self-perception and an urge to imitate white cultural codes in order to gain acceptance. The document discusses key concepts from the book like double consciousness and discourse, and how embracing the colonizer's language implied embracing their entire civilization and superior status.
Nimesh- Post colonial literature presentation
Frantz Fanon was a significant anti-colonial thinker from Martinique. In his book Black Skin, White Masks, he draws on his personal experiences with racism in France and Algeria to critically examine colonial politics and the psychology of racial oppression. Fanon explores how colonialism imposed rigid binaries of black and white identity, causing alienation. He analyzes the trauma of being viewed only through the white gaze and having to speak French to participate in colonial culture. Fanon's work was influential in developing theories of colonial inferiority complexes, resistance to cultural hegemony through language, and the dialectic relations of the colonizer and colonized.

Amelia, Daisy, Alice, Post Colonial
Postcolonial theory analyzes the political and cultural impacts of colonialism. It examines topics like identity, power dynamics, and representation in formerly colonized works and societies. In The Tempest, Shakespeare depicts colonial relationships through Prospero's domination of the island's natives, Caliban and Ariel. Prospero establishes himself as a colonizer, asserting power and defining the islanders' inferior identities to justify his control over the island. Postcolonial readings critique the racism and exploitation inherent in colonial systems of power depicted in the play.
Post colonialism
Post-colonialism is the study of the effects of colonial subjugation by Western powers on Third and Fourth World nations that emerged in the 1970s. It examines various forms of injustice, domination of culture and gender, and the experiences of subaltern groups. In literature, post-colonialism analyzes the interaction and reaction between colonial societies and the impact of colonialism on literary works. The document then defines and discusses several key post-colonial concepts like mimicry, hybridity, orientalism, and universalism and how they are applied in literary analysis and critique works from a post-colonial perspective.

A Tempest as a Post-colonial play.
This document is a student paper analyzing Shakespeare's The Tempest as a post-colonial play.
