Donadey understands postcolonial literature as being both oppositional to and complicit with a variety of power structures. This literature also reclaims through fiction a history written primarily from a Eurocentric perspective. Finally, postcolonial literature engages with a variety of intertexts, which it alternately contests, reclaims, and reinvents. This work challenges the current practice of postcolonial theory by moving away from a focus on English language literature. Donadey argues that rather than being peripheral to postcolonial concerns, gender is one of the main reasons for the ambivalent aspect of much postcolonial literature. \u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eRecasting Postcolonialism\u003c\/i\u003e outlines historiographical debates over the Algerian war and the place of women in the war. Donadey examines the narrative strategies Djebar and Sebbar use to rewrite an Algerian history that was partially erased by French colonialism. She also offers a clear analysis of how these two women's writings demonstrate the prominent role played by Algerian women and the historical memories of women in the recasting of Algeria's colonial past.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anne Donadey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0325070237\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780325070230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Heinemann Educational Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/19\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.96lbs\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anne Donadey","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48517292589311,"sku":"9780325070230","price":127.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_14b4cec3-a4f2-4102-8d0d-a565795fa730.jpg?v=1778731171","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/recasting-postcolonialism-anne-donadey-9780325070230","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
