D. REVIEW OF RELATED STUDIES
1. SCREAMING THROUGH SILENCE: THE VIOLENCE OF RACE IN “INDIAN CAMP” AND “THE DOCTOR AND THE DOCTOR’S WIFE” by Amy Strong, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, 1996
The focus in this journal article will be on the lack of an Indian (rather than Africanist) presence, Amy explores the ways Hemingway negotiates the matter of "race" and racial difference in two short stories from In Our Time. Her work will center on two of Hemingway’s earliest short stories, "Indian Camp" and "The Doctor and the Doctor's Wife," to examine how Hemingway represents the instability of racial identity.

Power, Distance, and Stereotyping Between Colonizer and Colonized and Men and Women in A Passage to India by Sarah Rhoads Nilsen A Thesis Presented to the Department of Literature, Area Studies and European Languages The University of Oslo In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the MA Degree Spring Term 2011.
This study is based on the novel A Passage to India by E.M . Forster and the purpose of this study is to demonstrate how physical distance, social distance, and emotional distance in the novel fuel the power dichotomy between the British Colonizers and the Indian Colonized, (synonymous in this discussion with the terms ‘the West’ and ‘the East’, respectively), and male and female characters. The second purpose of this study is to show how distance necessitates the reliance upon stereotypes as a means of understanding people and places in the novel.
The method for conducting this study is based on Nilsen’s interpretation of the novel and, although supported by the theoretical perspectives presented in Narrative theory, Postcolonial theory, and Feminist theory, it is her own understanding of how these theoretical perspectives fit into the plot of the text that serves as the starting point for this discussion. Nilsen has examined A Passage to India within its cultural, political, social, and historical context, while performing a close reading, and subsequent close interpretation, of the primary text. She bases her analysis on direct quotations from A Passage to India to support her
