| Zusammenfassung: | Is it possible to simultaneously belong to and be exiled from a community? In Politics of the Female Body, Ketu H. Katrak argues that it is not only possible, but common, especially for women who have been subjects of colonial empires. Through her careful analysis of postcolonial literary texts, Katrak uncovers the ways that the female body becomes a site of both oppression and resistance. She examines writers working in the English language, including Anita Desai from India, Ama Ata Aidoo from Ghana, and Merle Hodge from Trinidad, among others. The writers share colonial histories, a sense of solidarity, and resistance strategies in the on-going struggles of decolonization that center on the body. Bringing together a rich selection of primary texts, Katrak examines published novels, poems, stories, and essays, as well as activist materials, oral histories, and pamphlets—forms that push against the boundaries of what is considered strictly literary. In these varied materials, she reveals common political and feminist alliances across geographic boundaries. A unique comparative look at women’s literary work and its relationship to the body in third world societies, this text will be of interest to literary scholars and to those working in the fields of postcolonial studies and women’s studies |

Apr 2020) Is it possible to simultaneously belong to and be exiled from a community? In Politics of the Female Body, Ketu H. Katrak argues that it is not only possible, but common, especially for women who have been subjects of colonial empires. Through her careful analysis of postcolonial literary texts, Katrak uncovers the ways that the female body becomes a site of both oppression and resistance. She examines writers working in the English language, including Anita Desai from India, Ama Ata Aidoo from Ghana, and Merle Hodge from Trinidad, among others. The writers share colonial histories, a sense of solidarity, and resistance strategies in the on-going struggles of decolonization that center on the body. Bringing together a rich selection of primary texts, Katrak examines published novels, poems, stories, and essays, as well as activist materials, oral histories, and pamphlets—forms that push against the boundaries of what is considered strictly literary. In these varied materials, she reveals common political and feminist alliances across geographic boundaries. A unique comparative look at women’s literary work and its relationship to the body in third world societies, this text will be of interest to literary scholars and to those working in the fields of postcolonial studies and women’s studies In English Commonwealth (DE-588)4010437-0 gnd rswk-swf SOCIAL SCIENCE / General bisacsh Commonwealth literature (English) Women authors History and criticism Feminism and literature Commonwealth countries Feminism and literature Developing countries Human body in literature Postcolonialism in literature Women and literature Commonwealth countries Women and literature Developing countries Women in literature Commonwealth countries Developing countries Women in literature Women Intellectual life Commonwealth countries Women Intellectual life Developing countries Women Commonwealth countries Intellectual life Women Developing countries Intellectual life Schriftstellerin (DE-588)4053311-6 gnd rswk-swf Postkolonialismus (DE-588)4566658-1 gnd rswk-swf Englisch (DE-588)4014777-0 gnd rswk-swf Postkoloniale Literatur (DE-588)4428936-4 gnd rswk-swf Frauenliteratur (DE-588)4113622-6 gnd rswk-swf Commonwealth (DE-588)4010437-0 b Frauenliteratur (DE-588)4113622-6 s Postkolonialismus (DE-588)4566658-1 s Englisch (DE-588)4014777-0 s 1\p DE-604 Postkoloniale Literatur (DE-588)4428936-4 s Schriftstellerin (DE-588)4053311-6 s 2\p DE-604 https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9780813539300 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
