Masterarbeit aus dem Jahr 2018 im Fachbereich Anglistik - Literatur, , Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Moni Mohsin is one of the most popular and well-read writers, based in London. The author's argument in this thesis is on elite class of Pakistani women like Butterfly who spends their life in partying at nights. Mohsin has explored the colonial mentality of this major character and by extension a still lingering psychic condition of the post-colonies where the people after living under the British masters in the sub-continent are still mimicking their departed colonial masters and despite historical and geographical independence are still struggling with their colonized mind. Through the present thesis the author has explored this idea in great detail using the concept of mimicry in post-colonial studies and especially applying Homi K. Bhaba's idea to analyze the text and to illustrate how the major character in Mohsin's work represents a quientessential case of post-colonial mimicry. Post-colonial theory is used as research methodology. Homi K. Bhabha concept of hybridity and mimicry provide basic framework for the research. The author's research falls into the category of qualitative inquiry. The most crucial theoretical dependence of my research would be on Homi K. Bhabha, Edward Said, Frantz Fanon, Gayatri Spivak and Ngugi o Thiongo.
