Negotiating Identities in Women's Lives: English Postcolonial and Contemporary British Novels (Contributions in Women's Studies) Book

Women face different psychological issues at different ages. But these issues and the experience of confronting them depend on cultural contexts. This book brings together feminism, postcolonial theory, and developmental psychology to analyze how traditional literary forms are transformed by women writing in different cultures. The volume analyzes works by such well known authors as Margaret Atwood, Nadine Gordimer, Keri Hulme, and Doris Lessing, along with fiction by less studied writers. It examines how postcolonial women writers deconstruct and reconstitute traditional forms by introducing the political and social implications of colonialism, while mid-life novels explore issues of migrancy and definitions of home, and contemporary women's novels about old age confront issues of ageism, classism, racism, and disability.Read More
