{"product_id":"women-writing-portuguese-colonialism-in-ana-paula-ferreira-9781789622317","title":"Women Writing Portuguese Colonialism in Africa","description":"This book represents the first attempt to query the contribution of women as cultural agents to the colonization, the anti-colonial opposition and the decolonization of territories ruled by Portugal in the African continent between the turn of the twentieth century and the early twenty-first. In contrast to the longstanding scholarship on the subject as regards other European empires, the entanglement of gender and colonialism has been ignored in the Portuguese case. Hence, this book takes a long view, surveying mostly little known historical and literary records that evince how \"women\" and \"colonialism\" were discursively constructed at particular points in time in view of a colonialist project that became the reason for being of the fascist authoritarian regime (1933-1974). A cultural studies approach of radical contextualization informs each of the five main chapters, in which documents from a range of disciplines are brought to bear on the main problematic of the\u003cbr\u003efemale-authored works in focus. The latter are all written in the metropole as a place of colonial return and critical reflection. Beyond recuperating women's voices, this book suggests a story of Portuguese colonialism in the African continent that is anything but Lusotropicalist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ana Paula Ferreira\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 178962231X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781789622317\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Liverpool University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAna Paula Ferreira is a Professor of Portuguese Studies in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese Studies at the University of Minnesota.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ana Paula Ferreira","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44127221809407,"sku":"9781789622317","price":38.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_255d01db-7152-437f-9260-4d78c5faedf4.jpg?v=1687452486","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/women-writing-portuguese-colonialism-in-ana-paula-ferreira-9781789622317","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
