Writing Woman, Writing Place by Sue Kossew
This book analyses the ways in which contemporary women writers in the two 'settler' colonies of Australia and South Africa explore notions of self, identity and place in their fiction."The strength of Kossew’s book lies especially in her detailed, rich, and thoughtful readings of the selected worksWriting Woman, Writing Place takes a critically rigorous approach and offers meticulous attention to the possibilities that emerge at the crossover of colonial and postcolonial identity formation, especially as this relates to place, space, time, and, crucially, gender."
