Literature and the Glocal City

Reshaping the English Canadian Imaginary
Herausgeber: Fraile-Marcos, Ana María

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book's most notable contribution lies in linking the notion of 'glocality', that is, the intermeshing of local and global forces to representations of subjectivity in the material and figurative space of the Canadian city. Dealing with oppositional discourses as multiculturalism, postcolonialism, feminism, diaspora, and environmentalism this book is an essential reference for any scholar with an interest in these areas.
