The primary purpose of this thesis is to explore the post-
colonial themes in Doris Lessing's "The Grass Is Singing."
The experience of colonialism and its agonizing aftermath have
not only determined the historical path but also modified the
reality of our life and even our entire perspective upon the
world. This thesis consists of five chapters. In Chapter One,
I sketch briefly Lessing's background. In Chapter Two, I trace
the impulses of post-colonialism so as to illuminate the
importance of post-colonialism in the field of the "Second
World." Chapter Three and Four form the main body of this
thesis. Chapter Three is devoted to deconstructing colonial
self/western discourse. I scrutinize the process of
alienation and disillusionment which springs from economic
bankruptcy and psychological disintegration. Greater stress is
put on the subversion within Eurocentric discourse. Then, I
discuss irony as a trope of doubleness that dismantles western
vision. Chapter Four is an attempt to reconstruct colonized
other/post-colonial discourse. In this chapter, I examine all
those theoretical tropes in post-colonial discourse that are
most productive and constructive for my examination of the
novel: mimicry, hybridity, ambivalence, resistance, Negritude,
and violence; they help give the colonized other a speaking
presence. "The Grass Is Singing," as a novel that questions the
adequacy of Eurocentric discourse, manifests the nature of the
dialectical links between sex, race, and ideology. The novel
is valuable not only because it shatters and questions the
Western monolithic assumptions, but also because it contributes
greatly to our understanding of the dilemmas about the
entanglement of racism, sexuality, and ideology.
