Synopsis
The study of race has become increasingly important in many academic disciplines, feeding on the trend in cultural theory to move more towards considerations of perception and representation of other landscapes, peoples and societies, and from a questioning of colonial and post-colonial influences on literature in general. This text presents the current state in interdisciplinary racial studies, looking in detail at the construction, perception and representation of race in a variety of literature. The essays examine style, figures of speech, settings, narrative devices and historical social situations.
