Analysis of “In the Skin of a Lion” novel by Michael Ondaatje
Please read the novel by Michael Ondaatje: In the Skin of a Lion,and answer the following
question. Kwasi Hoffman and Jodi Lundgren argue that Ondaatje’s novel focuses on
European migrants so as to demonstrate to the reader the exploitation and degradation
they encountered despite their white skin and European ancestry. In the Skin of a Lion
points towards a period when the notion of racial identity in Canada was born, highlighting
the fact that racism was not solely concerned with people of colour and First Nations, but
was, rather, a social construct that was executed within labour and social values.How does
Ondaatje inform readers of the complexities and the multi-stranded discourses that
underpin Canada’s multiculturalism today? Does the novel suffer from its focus on
European immigrants? How does he symbolically tie notions of skin colour to his
characters, and what impact does this connection between color, nationality, language, and
race have? You are required to use a minimum of three peer-reviewed critical academic
sources on the authors/texts chosen for your final paper, so the best way to proceed is to
choose an author and topic, go to the library or databases such as JSTOR, ProjectMUSE,
Academic Search Premier, etc., and see how critics are engaging with the author. This will
show you what general consensus or debates are considered relevant, and if what approach
your own argument might take. In the limited amount of time and space we have, it is
important that you be aware of available critical material before committing yourself to a
thesis for which no academic sources can be found. Your argument must be original, but if it
does not build on, refine, or engage with existing critical work, you will be unable to use
your academic sources in a meaningful fashion. You MUST have a clear argumentative
thesis, and not just answers to the various questions posed in the topic prompts below. Give
your paper a title! Please provide a work cited. Scholarly sources must be used for your
evidence. E
