Magic Stones and Flying Snakes: Gender and the 'Postcolonial Exotic' in the Work of Paulina Chiziane and Lídia Jorge
By Ana Margarida Martins
Series: Reconfiguring Identities in the Portuguese-Speaking World, edited by Paulo de Medeiros and Cláudia Pazos-Alonso (<http://www.peterlang.com/?rip>)
This book identifies an important overlap between Anglo-Saxon and Lusophone postcolonial theories: the neglect of gender and sexual variables when analysing cultural difference in the postcolonial era. The author examines the work of Paulina Chiziane and Lídia Jorge, and the implications of placing gender and sexual difference at the heart of the ‘post colonial exotic’.
