Postcolonial Speculative Fiction

University Experiences

This is a really neat comparison of how education is portrayed in the different works we have studied. I mentioned either in my journal or one of my posts that the group of friends in Lagoon are all very educated, but they stay to themselves and somewhat "other" themselves. They only use their pidgin language and act certain ways around each other; I believe their reasoning is so that they can appear educated to others, but it still proves your point that they don't get out of their comfort zone. I think the fact that Binti introduced so many diverse concepts for a children's novel proves how unique and influential it is.
