It first traces the development of magical realism from its origins in European painting to its appropriation into literature by European and Latin American writers. It then explores contested definitions of magical realism and the critical questions surrounding them and analyzes the relationship between the paradigmatic turn in postcolonial literatures and the concomitant rise of magical realism in Third World countries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Taner Can\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3838207548\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783838207544\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ibidem Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.80w x 0.70d","brand":"Taner Can","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43940865310975,"sku":"9783838207544","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_eefa96b3-8f47-4e2e-b944-70bea580ff3d.jpg?v=1681449609","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/magical-realism-in-postcolonial-british-taner-can-9783838207544","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
