Critically assesses the narratives of colonialism within the context of the historical tradition of incarceration literature. Taking examples from both historical and contemporary colonial and post-colonial texts, and discussing them within this tradition, the book addresses such questions as: what are the historical origins of such discourse?; how is incarceration acknowledged and "dealt with" within writing and story-telling?; and what are the differences between western and non-western approaches to the subject?
