Robinson Crusoe and the Patriarchal Empire

Robinson Crusoe is an important cultural archive of European colonial narratives. It provides not only a basic mode of the west patriarchal empire but also a savage writing about ″cannibals″ in America. Therefore, on the one hand, it has become a classical work through the misreading of the European authoritative writers, and on the other hand, it has been unceasingly reconstructed from the postcolonial perspective by the intellectual elites.
