Intranation -- Patricia Grace’s “Potiki” and Eden Robinson’s “Monkey Beach”
[ send me this paper ]
This 10 page report discusses novels written by Patricia Grace (“Potiki”) and Eden Robinson (“Monkey Beach”). In “Potiki,” the reader is able to see one community's response to attacks on their ancestral values and symbols. In the process, the relationship between people and the land they live on is shown to have greater ties than can be imagined by the “typical” urbanite. Likewise, “Monkey Beach” demonstrates that there are people whose greater loyalties are more directly related to the mystical connections that exist for some people in what are most often dismissed as the ordinary occurrences of daily life. Both novels explore the idea of the existence of intranations in the modern world and the ideologies of the residents of those intranations. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
