Feminist Postcolonial Theory: A Reader

by Reina Lewis (editor)

This text contains a range of influential readings from feminist theorizing. Divided into eight thematic sections, the readings have been selected in order to examine not just the textual and discursive nature of colonial and post-colonial discourse in relation to gender, but also the material effects of the post-colonial condition and practices developed in relation to it.

[Becky]

Very comprehensive and accessible compilation. Read about forced sterilization of women of color in the United States, Muslim women choosing to wear a veil or not, compulsory heterosexuality, and the second and third waves of feminism.

[Dahlia Martin · Rating 5 out of 5]

A good, comprehensive volume which could also serve as an introduction to those wanting to familiarise themselves with the subject.
