The Politics of the Female Body

Postcolonial Women Writers

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Is it possible to simultaneously belong to and be exiled from a community? Arguing that it's possible, especially for women who have been subjects of colonial empires, the author uncovers the ways that the female body becomes a site of both oppression and resistance. She reveals common political and feminist alliances across geographic boundaries.
