Description
Drawing on colonial discourse and postcolonial theory to reinterpret key writers of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Myroslav Shkandrij shows how the need to legitimize expansion gave rise to ideas of Russian political and cultural hegemony and influenced Russian attitudes toward Ukraine. These notions were then challenged and subverted in a counter-discourse that shaped Ukrainian literature.
