Norbert Bugeja

Postcolonial Memoir in the Middle East (eBook, PDF)

Rethinking the Liminal in Mashriqi Writing

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book reconsiders liminality in postcolonial thought by visiting Mashriqi writers of memoir, offering a unique intervention in the understanding of threshold states within postcolonial literary studies. Challenging received perceptions of the concept, Bugeja's incisive readings situate liminal space today as a fraught form of consciousness that mediates between conditions of historical contingency and the volatile memorializing present.
