A Post-colonial Approach to Robinson Crusoe
Abstract: This thesis sets on Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe which has the theme of colonialism which is represented on a series of binary oppositional colonial discourses: the colonial country and the colony, master and slave, the white and the colored, central culture and marginal culture, civilization and savageness, Christianity and cannibals and all that. This analysis gives us a new perspective in appreciation post-colonial approach to the classical work and understanding of the historical destiny of the orient culture through the transfer from the West culture to the orient nation’s culture with post-colonial criticism as its visual angle.
