- Description
- Through her analysis of postcolonial literary texts, including Anita Desai, Ama Ata Aidoo and Merle Hodge among others, Katrak describes the ways that the female body becomes a site of both oppression and resistance. She argues that it is common, especially for women, to simultaneously belong to and be exiled from a community. The reviewed writers share colonial histories, a sense of solidarity, and resistance strategies in the on-going struggles of decolonization that center on the body.

- Description
- The final years of the twentieth century have produced new knowledge about women´s literacy. Building on and critiquing scholarship in literacy studies, composition studies, rhetorical theory, gender studies, postcolonial theory, and cultural studies, the contributors to this volume discuss what literacies are. Yet their strongest interest is in documenting and theorizing women´s lived experience of these literacies.They committed not just to telling stories or theorizing about them, but also to the women whose stories they report and analyze, including historical figures such as Louisa May Alcott, and Dorothy West: feminist writers of the sixties and seventies: or women in other parts of the world, such as those in Vietnam struggling with English and Japanese: or in South Africa dealing with the legacy of apartheid: or contemporary women in the mountains of North Carolina, the plains of Nebraska, and the cities of Tunisia: or old women in Korea finally telling stories of their sexual exploitation during World -War II.

- Description
- Hackett examines portrayals of race, class, and sexuality in modernist texts by white women to argue for the existence of a literary device that she calls 'Sapphic primitivism'. The works covered vary in form and content, and include Olive Schreiner's proto-modernist exploration of 'New Womanhood', 'The story of an African farm': Virginia Wolf's high modernist play-poem, 'The waves': Sylvia Townsend Warner's historical novel, 'Summer will show': and Willa Cather's Southern pastoral, 'Sapphira and the slave girl'. In each, blackness and working-class culture are seen as representing sexual autonomy, including lesbianism, for white women.
