商品簡介
A critic and teacher of contemporary and postcolonial literature, Farca analyzes the role of place and its cultural significance in the fiction of eight contemporary indigenous women writers in the four former colonies of the British Empire. How do the places indigenous people go to and imagine, she asks, reveal the cultural directions toward which indigenous people are moving, and the changes that occurred in their traditions during colonialism. She argues that places are social and cultural constructions that regenerate themselves as a result of active participation by inhabitants, but also that the places help inhabitants renew their relationships with tribal and national histories and culture.
