Momentum : On Recent South African Writing
ISBN: 9780869803776 / Angielski / Miękka / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. MOMENTUM sees writing in South Africa after Soweto '76 as being of two kinds: the artefact (novels, plays or poetry) and the manifesto (the artist's statement about the shaping power of events in this country on his or her work). Another kind of division is also operative in South African literature: the writings of those who live here and the writings of those who live abroad - our exiles. Because there are at least these two kinds of divisions in our literature, MOMENTUM takes the shape it does. It combines writers' statements (from home and abroad) about their work with critical discussion...

Bushman Letters: Interpreting Xam Narrative
ISBN: 9781868145065 / Angielski / Miękka / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Bushman Letters is an unusual and important book. It examines not only the /Xam archive but also, and in the first instance, the critical tradition that has grown up around the archive as well as the hermeneutic principles that inform that tradition. It critiques these principles and offers not so much alternative readings as alternative modes of reading. The book accomplishes two things: it shows the problems with the ways that the materials in the Bleek and Lloyd Collection have been approached by previous critics, and it suggests what their interpretations have left out in the...

Ngugi wa Thiong'o, Gender, and the Ethics of Postcolonial Reading
ISBN: 9780754658252 / Angielski / Twarda / 222 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This is the first comprehensive book-length study of gender politics in Ngugi wa Thiong'o's fiction. Brendon Nicholls argues that mechanisms of gender subordination are strategically crucial to Ngugi's ideological project from his first novel to his most recent one. Nicholls describes the historical pressures that lead Ngugi to represent women as he does, and shows that the novels themselves are symptomatic of the cultural conditions that they address. Reading Ngugi's fiction in terms of its Gikuyu allusions and references, a gendered narrative of history emerges that creates transgressive...
