In \u003ci\u003eSigns of Dissent, \u003c\/i\u003e the first full-length study in English on Cond , Dawn Fulton situates this award-winning author's work in the context of current theories of cultural identity in order to foreground Cond 's unique contributions to these discussions. Staging a dialogue between Cond 's novels and the field of postcolonial studies, Fulton argues that Cond  enacts a strategy of \"critical incorporations\" in her fiction, imitating and transforming many of the prevailing narratives of postcolonial theory so as to explore their theoretical and conceptual limits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e By rejecting the facile classification of her work as \"Caribbean,\" \"African,\" or \"feminist,\" Cond  has gained a reputation as an iconoclast. But Fulton proposes that behind this public image of provocation lies an incisive reflection on the burdens of representation imposed on the non-Western writer, and that Cond 's novels expose the ways in which postcolonial criticism can be complicit in constructing such burdens even as it questions them. \u003ci\u003eSigns of Dissent\u003c\/i\u003e offers one of the most comprehensive assessments of Cond 's literary production to date, illuminating its exceptional role in shaping a dialogue between francophone studies and the English-dominated field of postcolonialism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dawn Fulton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0813927153\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813927152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Virginia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/15\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.97h x 6.39w x 0.54d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2008 pg. 306","brand":"Dawn Fulton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44120311693567,"sku":"9780813927152","price":23.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b6375d68-5495-4886-82eb-73bbe57e3bc1.jpg?v=1687413642","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/signs-of-dissent-dawn-fulton-9780813927152","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
