Using the Master's Tools: Resistance and the Literature of the African and South Asian Diasporas - Hardcover
Synopsis
Through close readings of works by writers like C.L.R. James, Salman Rushdie, Ama Ata Aidoo, Michelle Cliff, and Hanif Kureishi, this book examines instances of textual resistance elaborated within imperial/metropolitan epistemologies and ideologies. It focuses especially on each writer's historical location, personal and political affiliations, presumed audiences, and her/his position on gender as integral contextual determinants of the strategies of textual resistance each deploys.
