Anahtar Kelimeler
Salman Rushdie’s 1995 novel The Moor’s Last Sigh
presents a rich narrative that interrogates the complexities of Indian colonial
history, origin, culture and identity through the narrator Moraes Zogoiby.
Rushdie uses the concept of palimpsest, which brings together visual or textual
elements from different layers both in the art of Aurora, Moor’s mother, and in
the novel’s narrative structure that blends history, culture and art making
references to the multilayered and multicultural texture of India. Aurora
offers an alternative representation of Mother India and her paintings which
are inspired by Arab Spain and relate her son to the last Moorish ruler Sultan
Boabdil, create a political and historical record foregrounding
multiculturalism through an ekphrastic narrative embellished with artistic
references. Hence, they turn into an important narrative tool, reflecting the
cultural hybridization of Indian history, the influences of British colonizers,
previous occupiers, new colonial powers, and act to contribute to the efforts
of creating a new identity and balance in post-colonial India.
