Novels can expose imperialism through their endings rather than endorse it

Evidence

However, it is possible to argue that rather than simply endorsing this measure, the novel in its closing pages is, in fact, pointing out the further consequences of imperialism: revealing those ongoing local, national, and international compromises—the desire to shepherd the past as well as dictate the future—that are the reality of dominance in the global context. — Peter Morey, Islamophobia and the Novel, 414
