Bracing Up Colonized Identity: An interpretation of Bracing Up, by A. L. Kennedy

The essay offers an interpretation of a short story by the contemporary Scottish author A. L. Kennedy. The text raises the question of the effects of political commitment on personal identity. The cosmopolitan and androgynous personality of the hero evolves in response to the nationalism of his patriarchal Welsh grandfather, which is perceived as having developed out of an implicit protest againist British imperialism.
