About this product
Product Information
In Empire and Poetic Voice Patrick Colm Hogan draws on a broad and detailed knowledge of Indian, African, and European literary cultures to explore the way colonized writers respond to the subtle and contradictory pressures of both metropolitan and indigenous traditions. He examines the work of two influential theorists of identity, Judith Butler and Homi Bhabha, and presents a revised evaluation of the important Nigerian critics, Chinweizu, Jemie, and Madubuike. In the process, he presents a novel theory of literary identity based equally on recent work in cognitive science and culture studies. This theory argues that literary and cultural traditions, like languages, are entirely personal and only appear to be a matter of groups due to our assertions of categorical identity, which are ultimately both false and dangerous.

Nice book, Good quality, full-size color plates on most every page. Arrived timely, in very good condition - like new. Compliments to seller.
They say nice things come in small packages, though not often true when it comes to color art books. But this one pleasantly surprises. Only about 5x8 inches and 96 pages in size, it's loaded with quality color plates. A coffee-table book it ain't; but still nice to have - without the sticker shock. abh
