Space and Cultural Geography

By Sudipta Chakraborty

Introduction

Critics and reviewers of V.S. Naipaul's travel writings are largely divided

between two camps: his defenders and detractors. The critical views of his defenders

are generally appreciative to the point of being tendentiously celebratory of Naipaul's

claim to objective truth and universality of vision. Those of his detractors are directed

against his unabashed commitment to Enlightenment ideologies that, according to

them, lie beneath the racialist-imperialist narrativity of Naipaul's travel accounts of

the Third World countries. Naipaul's admirers lay emphasis on his broad satire and

melancholy experience of humanity in post-colonial societies.
