DESCRIPTION:
EXTRACT FROM THE EDITORS' INTRODUCTION: With this special issue on Postcolonial Feminist Writing, the Atlantic Literary Review reaches the end of its fourth year. It has been an honour for us to edit this issue, not only because of the importance of the theme and the quality of the contributions, but because this has given us an opportunity to confer a particular shape and form on the ongoing global discussion of postcolonialism, feminism and, indeed, writing. We believe that our role as editors is not to be underestimated: if translation theory today points up the visibility of the translator, also to be affirmed in parallel is the visibility of the editor. In preparing this volume - sending out the call for papers, considering, selecting and editing the various contributions - we have striven at all moments to produce a volume that will operate for all - for the authors and works written on, for the contributors and for the readers - as a dynamic contribution to a continuing debate and a stimulus to further reflection and writing, both literary and critical. While the texts written on in this collection have turned out to fall almost exclusively within the sphere of the novel, we meanwhile welcome the geographical diversity of the themes and authors examined, with the Indian subcontinent, Africa, Australasia and the Caribbean all fully represented. In addition, our contributors have between them exemplified a remarkable range of critical approaches and methodologies, thus serving to demonstrate how neither the postcolonial nor the feminist can or should be reduced to a set of predictable formulas.
