V.S. Naipaul stands as the most lionized literary mediator between First and Third World experience and is ordinarily viewed as possessing a unique authority on the subject of crosscultural relations in the postcolonial era. In contesting this orthodox reading of his work, Nixon argues that Naipaul is more than simply an unduly influential writer. He has become a regressive Western institution, articulating a set of values that perpetuates political interests and representational modes that have their origin in the high imperial age. Nixon uses Naipaul's travel writing to probe the core theoretical issues raised by crosscultural representation along metropolitanperiphery lines. With reference to economic theories of dependency, he critiques the vision, popularized by Naipaul, of the postcolonial world as divided between mimic and parasitic Third World nations on the one hand and, on the other, the benignly creative societies of the West.
