Reading postcolonial literature for animism provides a significant and original perspective on dealing with trauma outside cultures that put humans at the centre of the experience. Jay Rajiva's I Toward an Animist Reading of Postcolonial Trauma Literature i (2021) analyses the representation of trauma in contemporary Nigerian and Indian literature by invoking animism.
