• catalog abstract ""The book provides a valuable gender and culture inflected critical introduction to well-established women writers such as Toni Morrison, Alice Walker, Margaret Atwood, Bessie Head and many others from the U.S.A., the Caribbean, India, Africa, Britain, Australia, Canada and South Africa, including both black and white writers. There is also discussion of the work of British performance poet Jean 'Binta' Breeze, of Nigerian writer Buchi Emecheta, of Aboriginal writers Sally Morgan and Kath Walker, and New Zealanders Janet Frame and Keri Hulme. Uniquely, the post-colonial is further explored to discuss 'emergent' writing by women from Cyprus, South-East Asia and Oceania. The book engages with and clarifies contested critical areas of feminism and the post-colonial; explores historical background and cultural context, economic, political and psychoanalytical influences on gendered experience; and recognises the broad influence of African American women's creative and critical writing. Post-Colonial and African American Women's Writing provides a cohesive discussion of key issues such as cultural and gendered identity, motherhood, mothertongue, language, relationships, women's economic constraints, sexual politics and women's lives as expressed in a rich variety of women's writing."--Jacket.".
