The Postcolonial Low Countries - Literature, Colonialism, and Multiculturalism

Informationen zum Autor Edited by Elleke Boehmer and Sarah De Mul - Contributions by Frances Gouda; Theo D'haen; Sarah Bracke; Nadia Fadil; Isabel Hoving; Pamela Pattynama; Louise Viljoen; Liesbeth Minnaard; Henriette Louwerse; Mireille Rosello; Murat Aydemir and Ieme van der Po Klappentext The Postcolonial Low Countries is the first book to bring together critical and comparative approaches to the emergent field of neerlandophone postcolonial studies. Each one of the contributions puts under pressure the definitive concepts of postcolonial studies in its more conventional anglophone or francophone formation, as well as perceptions of the Low Countries, Belgium and the Netherlands, as lying outside or to the side of the postcolonial domain.
