| 520 | _aThe present book, comprising eleven perceptive essays, reveals the new directions postcolonial criticism is taking. It shows an unusually strong grasp of the most significant issues in three postcolonial societies; India, Africa, Australia. In each area, the author has confronted the great and most complex writers-R.K. Narayan in India, Patrick White in Australia- at the same time focusing on women's studies in the postcolonial context through her study of Emecheta and on immigration and multiculturalism through her essay on Asian writing in Australia. The book is exciting both in its conception and its execution. | ||
