In this respect, Keating's Ghote novels are in the tradition of Tony Hillerman's Navajo Indian and James McClure's South African novels which serve up the human, experiential aspects of the cultural and ethnic conflicts that newspaper reports scarcely touch on Like Hillerman and McClure, Keating is not only an outsider, but as an Englishman writing about a former colony he is in grave danger of what Edward Said says western writers often do: construct the Orient as the mysterious Other.
