Cultural Grammars of Nation, Diaspora, & Indigeneity in Canada de Christine Kim

Cultural Grammars of Nation, Diaspora, & Indigeneity in Canada: TransCanada

Editat de Christine Kim, Sophie McCall, Melina Baum Singer
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 dec 2011
"Cultural Grammars of Nation, Diaspora, and Indigeneity in Canada" considers how the terms of critical debate in literary and cultural studies in Canada have shifted with respect to matters of race, nation, and difference. In asking how Indigenous and diasporic interventions have remapped these debates, the contributors argue there is a new "cultural grammar" at work and attempt to sketch out some of the ways that it operates.
