Tracing the transnational and racial meanings of creole identity, Raiskin looks at four English-speaking writers from South Africa and the Caribbean: Olive Schreiner, Jean Rhys, Michelle Cliff, and Zo� Wicomb. She examines their work in light of the discourses of their times: nineteenth-century \"race science\" and imperialistic rhetoric, turn-of-the-century anti-Semitic sentiment and feminist pacifism, postcolonial theory, and apartheid legislation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn their writing and in their multiple identities, these women highlight the gendered nature of race, citizenship, culture, and the language of literature. Raiskin shows how each writer expresses her particular ambivalences and divided loyalties, both enforcing and challenging the proprietary British perspective on colonial history, culture, and language. A new perspective on four writers and their uneasy places in colonial culture, Snow on the Cane Fields reveals the value of pursuing a feminist approach to questions of national, political, and racial identity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eJudith Raiskin is assistant professor of women's studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Minnesota Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47614825300119,"sku":"9780816623013","price":6932.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780816623013.webp?v=1775096752","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/snow-on-the-cane-fields-womens-writing-and-creole-subjectivity-9780816623013","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
