Postcolonial Subjects: Francophone Women Writers

by Mary Jean Matthews Green (Editor), Karen Gould (Editor), Micheline Rice-Maximin (Editor)

'Postcolonial Subjects' is a collective project centered on questions of language, identity, and voice as they engage issues of gender, race, ethnicity, culture, and nation. The critical essays presented here focus on the literary contributions of contemporary women writing in French whose cultural ties, ethnic identities, and historical roots lie beyond the Hexagon, beyond the six-sided map of France.
