The book, comprising 11 perceptive essays, reveals the new directions postcolonial criticism is taking. The author confronts the most complex writers: R.K. Narayan in India, Achebe in Africa, Patrick White in Australia. She focuses on women’s studies in the postcolonial context through her study of Emecheta and on immigration and multiculturalism through her essay on Asian writing in Australia.
