My research is concerned with how politically engaged women novelists navigated the problem of decolonization at different points of its crises in the twentieth century and in its varying coordinates in the global south. As such, the chapters unpack my overarching claim that within their larger historical novels about political excesses, error, and failure, the authors experimented with minor and yet distinct narrative forms through which they problematized the tensions in committed political relations. With this argument, I first foreground the underlying paradox that committed women's writing, in tackling the ideological miscarrying of collective resistance, assumes a self-reflexive form. For instance, Han Suyin's critique of the excesses in the communist insurgency in 1950s British Malaya takes on the form of autofictional interventions into her own war novel, And the Rain My Drink (1956). Meanwhile, an element of self-confession in Nadine Gordimer's political novel, Burger's Daughter (1979), emerges as the means to question the political orthodoxy and white paternalism in the 1970s anti-apartheid movement in South Africa. Finally, a teleological narrative in Ninotchka Rosca's satire, Twice Blessed (1992), serves as the critical discourse against the moral bankruptcy that pervaded the Philippine political landscape in the wake of the 1986 People Power Revolution. Ultimately, I argue that what the narratives code as failed visions of social justice, carried out along counter-hegemonic, nationalist lines is, at the same time, a gendered and radical rethinking of political subjectivity as relational practice.
