Abstract
ABSTRACTThis essay offers an investigation into the characteristics or distinctive features of life writing in colonial and postcolonial spaces. Among the examples of life writing here considered are George Lamming’s In The Castle of My Skin and C. L. R. James’s Beyond a Boundary, and, less often treated in this context, works by Benjamin Franklin and James Joyce; stress is placed on the importance of American literature for early articulations of the problems and dilemmas of postcolonial life writing. Further emphasis is laid on place, and on the need for bibliographical research into the place of publication of works written in or concerned with colonial spaces.
