This idea that the colonized need Shakespeare to cut against the colonizer makes me think of Wideman’s Philadelphia Fire. No spoiler needed: it didn’t work. Even the form of the fiction broke down.

Shakespeare is only important in this context because it’s a vehicle that the colonizer understands. Centering Shakespeare here erases the intellectual capacity and physical resistance of the colonized. We use the masters tool to dismantle his house.

I would add that not only do I agree with you, but words like inspired and helped are not the same as, say, prompted. Those who are marginalized often respond to & appropriate Shakespeare because they find lack in his plays and their cultural purpose rather than inspiration.

Great points on both the terminology and the logic of the dynamic. Helpful for revising the initial articulation. Thanks.

I find that the logic of your exclusion of Shakespeare from th arsenal of critique of colonialism may lead to racist conclusions. People under colonial rule used Shakespeare as a tool of critique bc as intelligent & conscious critics they found meaning in his well-formed artworks

I never said that they didn’t use Shakespeare. I said that Shakespeare wasn’t the center of their critique and that they didn’t NEED Shakespeare to mount them. How is that racist?
