Shortcomings If The Book

Literary imperialism refers to the practice of Western authors writing about non-Western cultures without fully understanding them, which can promote simplistic or stereotypical views. The article discusses how well-meaning Western authors may fall into traps of exoticism, condescension, or appropriation when writing about other cultures without sufficient research or cultural understanding. Non-Western authors are better positioned to write authentic stories about their own societies.
