Conclusion: defining the nation differently -- Select bibliography -- Index. 330 $aElleke Boehmer's work on the crucial intersections between independence, nationalism and gender has already proved canonical in the field. 'Stories of women' combines her keynote essays on the mother figure and the postcolonial nation, with incisive new work on male autobiography, 'daughter' writers, the colonial body, the trauma of the post-colony, and the nation in a transnational context. Focusing on Africa as well as South Asia, and sexuality as well as gender, Boehmer offers fine close readings of writers ranging from Achebe, Okri and Mandela to Arundhati Roy and Yvonne Vera, shaping these into a critical engagement with theorists of the nation such as Fredric Jameson and Partha Chatterjee. Moving beyond cynical deconstructions of the post-colony, the book mounts a reassessment of the post-colonial nation as a site of potential empowerment, as a ?paradoxical refuge? in a globalised world. It acts on its own impassioned argument that post-colonial and nation-state studies address substantively issues hitherto raised chiefly within international feminism. 606 $aEnglish literature$zEnglish-speaking countries$xHistory and criticism 606 $aSex role in literature 606 $aPostcolonialism in literature 606 $aNationalism in literature 606 $aLiterature$2mup 606 $aLiterature: History & Criticism$2bicssc 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / General$2bisach 606 $aLiterature: history & criticism$2thema 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aLiterature 610 $aGender 610 $aWomen 610 $aChinua Achebe 610 $aIndia 610 $aNationalism 610 $aPatriarchy 610 $aPostcolonialism 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aSex role in literature. 615 0$aPostcolonialism in literature. 615 0$aNationalism in literature. 615 7$aLiterature 615 7$aLiterature: History & Criticism 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / General 615 7$aLiterature: history & criticism 676 $a809.93358 700 $aBoehmer$b Elleke$f1961-$0482234 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910213856503321 996 $aStories of women$91962661 997 $aUNINA
