What injustices and forms of exploitation does Swift accuse the dominant class of committing against the poor? In what ways is the proposal effective in shocking and disturbing readers enough to force them to examine the horrors of colonial inhumanity and greed? In your discussion of these issues, you MUST refer to at least two of the following sources:
• Ania Loomba’s “Colonial and Postcolonial Identities” • Ania Loomba’s “Challenging Colonialism” • Dennis Walder’s “History” • Elaine Scarry’s “The Difficulty of Imagining Other People”
