Self-Colonization and Decolonization in the Works of Yaşar Kemal and Paul Bowles
Öz
This study looks at Yasar Kemal’s Dağın Öte Yüzü trilogy and Paul Bowles’ The Spider’s House, in which the writers describe communities that are self-colonized within their own legal and societal systems. In Bowles’ work, self-colonization occurs during decolonization, while in Kemal’s trilogy, the process of self-colonization is the direct result of the feudal system during the Republic period of the late 1950s. Most prior analysis has focused on the main characters or on the decolonization process itself In this paper I show the distortions in the communities during the years of decolonization, as well as the unsteady relationships and contradictions in a society where a real colonization hasn ’t even taken place. I describe the elements of self- colonization including the struggle for power, social instability and divisive points of view in religion and beliefs.
