De-Colonizing the Subject : The Politics of Gender in Womens Autobiography by Sidonie Smith; Julia Watson
De/Colonizing the Subject surveys women’s autobiographical practices as they have arisen within and confronted the contexts of colonization and oppression. Challenging a universalism that reduces whole cultures to contained stereotypes and persons to cultural representatives, the contributors explore from various theoretical angles the constitution of the “colonial subject” in history, discourse, and desire.
