Trying to get through dissertation revisions

I'm looking for novels about people in ex-colonies learning colonial languages. So far I have Tsitsi Dangarembga's Nervous Conditions and Mohamed Mbougar Sarr's The Most Secret Memory of Men. If you know of others please let me know!

Just saw this film last week- and this adds another dimension to it

Remembering Asrani, the man who made us laugh even in a film drenched in blood and revenge.
But behind his iconic “Angrezon ke zamaane ka jailor” act in Sholay lies an unlikely inspiration - a secret photoshoot in Germany nearly a century ago. Thread 1/17

it’s interesting that immigration challenges suddenly matter to these organizations now that it’s Canadians and Europeans having issues with travel. No one was accommodating African scholars who are regularly denied visas to attend academic conferences

I was today years old when I found out the word faltu / फालतू comes from Portuguese! 🤯

Happy holiday season. Remembering those who left their familiar landscapes behind, those who feel lonely, and those who are separated from their loved ones. Warm wishes so that they can find their small pockets of peace and joy in this world.
