Annemarie Pabel

4.9/5 (17421 ratings)

Description:Women Writing Trauma in the Global South argues that women, and especially women of colour, have been exposed to prolonged insidious and systemic violence and psychological trauma in selected works of the Scottish-Sierra Leonean writer Aminatta Forna, the Chilean-American author Isabel Allende and Anuradha Roy from India. In these women's writing, extensive violence invades the realm of ordinary life and exceeds the capacity of the traditional, event-based trauma category. This book examines how these women writers navigate intertwined experiences of exile, racism, familial disintegration and nostalgia through their writing and how different literary forms facilitate such articulatory practices.The discussion transgresses many interrelated boundaries of geographical and cultural contexts as well as language and genre in grappling with trauma. Through an exploration of Forna's, Allende's and Roy's writing, Women Writing Trauma in the Global South aligns itself with a recent critical turn in literary and cultural trauma theory and enters the ongoing debate on the global (in)validation of suffering.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
