Tropes and Territories: Short Fiction, Postcolonial Readings, Canadian Writings in Context (review) (original) (raw)

This collection of essays explores the interrelations between short fiction and postcolonial contexts, examining works from Canadian authors as well as from India, Australia, the Caribbean, and New Zealand. The anthology challenges traditional reading practices in postcolonial criticism, reflecting on how oral and written storytelling traditions inform contemporary literature. Through dialogues between individual essays, the collection engages with larger debates surrounding genre, cultural identity, and the connections between memory and narrative form.
