Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This book focuses on the premise that contemporary postcolonial women writers reclaim a new position of writing which mirrors and transcends the storytelling of Shahrazad in terms of theme and structure. It questions the extent to which Shahrazad is employed as a liberating figure in contemporary postcolonial women’s narratives. Postcolonial feminine writing allows temporary interventions into the patriarchal and colonial discourses. The repetition of these temporary interventions suggests the possibility of more subversive and liberating literary discourses.
