Grove's Settlers of the Marsh -- Sedative Politics: Media, Law, Philosophy -- Ethnic Anthologies: From Designated Margins to Postmodern Multiculturalism -- The Body in Joy Kogawa's Obasan: Race, Gender, Sexuality. Scandalous Bodies is an impassioned scholarly study both of literature by diasporic writers and of the contexts within which it is produced. It explores topics ranging from the Canadian government's multiculturalism policy to media representations of so-called minority groups, from the relationship between realist fiction and history to postmodern constructions of ethnicity, from the multicultural theory of the philosopher Charles Taylor to the cultural responsibilities of diasporic critics such as Kamboureli herself.
