The book attempts to disclose various representations of ugliness in discourses ranging from Shakespeare’s colonialism to Patrick White’s, J. M. Coetzee’s and Ayi Kwei Armah’s postcolonialism. Attention is also given to American Indian captivity narratives and contemporary British and Irish theatre, where ugliness is the manifestation of the human.
