Download or read book Postcolonial Ghosts written by Gerry Turcotte and published by Presses Universitaires de la Méditerranée PULM. This book was released on 2009 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As liminal beings, ghosts seem particularly appropriate to define, question or challenge hybrid cultures where several, seemingly irreconcilable, identities coexist. The present volume wonders how they manifest themselves in the English-speaking world, and whether there is a specifically postcolonial kind of haunting. The twenty-two articles deal with textual, translational or historical ghosts, and take us to Canada, Australia, Africa, India or the Caribbean. Poems by Gerry Turcotte literally haunt the volume, which thus juxtaposes theory and practice in a dynamic and fruitful way.
