Beskrivning

In this first full-length study of race and colonialism in the works of James Joyce, Vincent J. Cheng argues that Joyce wrote insistently from the perspective of a colonial subject of an oppressive empire, and that Joyce's representations of 'race' in its relationship to imperialism constitute a trenchant and significant political commentary, not only on British imperialism in Ireland, but on colonial discourses and imperial ideologies in general. Exploring the interdisciplinary space afforded by postcolonial theory, minority discourse, and cultural studies, and articulating his own cross-cultural perspective on racial and cultural liminality, Professor Cheng offers a ground-breaking study of the century's most internationally influential fiction writer, and of his suggestive and powerful representations of the cultural dynamics of race, power, and empire.

Recensioner i media

'Inspired by post-colonial theory, Vincent Cheng's Joyce, Race and Empire argues the case for Joyce's subversion of predominant ideologies of race and ethnicity. The book locates itself as a corrective to a critical legacy that has focussed on Joyce's styles and away from the ideological discussions contained in the Joycean texts.' The Times Literary Supplement
