These debates, which hinge on competing definitions of "trope" (motif vs rhetorical turn) and "territory" (political or aesthetic), lead to studies of space, place, influence, and writing and reading practices across cultural divides. The essays also explore the character of diasporic writing, the cultural significance of oral tale-telling, and interconnections between socio/political issues and strategies of style. 606 $aCommonwealth fiction (English)$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aPostcolonialism 606 $aShort stories, Canadian$xHistory and criticism 606 $aShort stories, Commonwealth (English)$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aCommonwealth fiction (English)$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aPostcolonialism. 615 0$aShort stories, Canadian$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aShort stories, Commonwealth (English)$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a813/.0109054 700 $aDvorak$b Marta, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0608663 701 $aDvorak$b Marta$0608663 701 $aNew$b W.
