Opis

At a time when concepts of identity and self-representation are abundant in both literary and cultural studies, this book brings together the two increasingly popular and important fields of postcolonial studies and life writing.

Recenzje

'Postcolonial Life-Writing is well-researched and intelligently written, with a clear agenda and arguement throughout. If Bart Moore-Gilbert at times seems too intent on encompassing the entire field of postcolonial literature, this can also be considered the strength of the book which will appeal to anyone with a scholarly interest in Postcolonial Studies and Auto/biography Studies.' - Wasafiri
