Writing Scotland & South Africa

Produktbeschreibung

This is the first book on the fiction of Zoë Wicomb, whose work offers telling insights into questions of race and gender that have worldwide significance in their relation to postcolonialism. Focusing on the translocal, it demonstrates Wicomb's importance as a novelist, short-story writer, and critic. In tracking contemporary and historical relations between two localities, her fiction reveals a consistent interest in and interrogation of home and belonging, space and place. This book will make a vital contribution to current debates on migrancy and cosmopolitanism taking place in a number of disciplines, including literary studies, geography, politics, sociology, and history.
