Assess students' understanding of how intertextual techniques (allusion, parody, pastiche, citation, mimicry, palimpsest) function in Anglophone postcolonial novels to construct, negotiate, or resist personal, communal, and national identities. The quiz will require close reading of excerpts, identification of intertextual sources (canonical Western texts, oral traditions, biblical/colonial archives), application of theoretical frameworks (Bakhtin, Kristeva, Bhabha, Spivak), and short comparative analysis across African, Caribbean, and South Asian case studies from the late 20th century to the present, with attention to political and ethical implications of identity formation.
