| dc.description.abstract | In this paper I explore the ways in which the prevalent metaphor of clothes and nakedness drives Kwakye’s political and ethnical agenda in his novel. Kwakye’s metaphor suggests that he considers recourse to the skeptical ideals of the past through image and rhetoric as a viable means for contemporary postcolonial subjects to confront the realities of their world; a world in which the greed and powernanie of the clothes work to erode ethics in the community. | en_US |
