Assess learners' ability to analyze how postcolonial novelists (e.g., Chinua Achebe, Salman Rushdie, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie) deploy narrative strategies—narrative voice, temporality, hybridity, irony, intertextuality, unreliable narration, and language—to represent and contest colonial and postcolonial power structures, gendered dynamics, and identity formation; require close textual evidence, comparative evaluation across texts, and engagement with relevant theoretical concepts (e.g., mimicry, subalternity, nationalism).
