Silesian Studies in Anglophone Cultures and Literatures: Literary Spaces in the Selected Works of J.M. Coetzee (Hardcover)

This book analyses strategies applied by J.M. Coetzee for the representation of South African spaces. Subversive treatment of literary spatial conventions (e.g. the pastoral mode) results in the creation of postmodern heterogenous, fluid and open spaces. Alternative topographies reverse the colonizing project and redefine relations with the other.
