Decolonising Gender: Literature And A Poetics Of The Real (Routledge Research In Postcolonial Literatures)

Through examination of the functions of language and cross-cultural readings of literature - from African queer reading to postcolonial Shakespeare - Rooney explores current ideas of performativity in literature and language, and negotiates a path between feminist theory's common pitfalls of essentialism and constructivism.
