Feminist Postcolonial Theory: A Reader van Reina Lewis and Sara Mills is an English-language study book that focuses on feminist postcolonial theory. This book is suitable for students in higher education and offers an in-depth analysis of gender in the context of postcolonial discourses.
This collection includes influential texts that address both the discursive aspects of postcolonial theory and the material consequences for women. The covered subjects range geographically from Southeast Asia to Africa and Latin America, and tackle themes such as colonialism, 'otherness', sexuality, sexual rights, and issues affecting Indigenous women. The work offers a critical view of the convergence of feminist and postcolonial theories and fills a gap in earlier studies by placing the meaning of gender within postcolonial contexts at the center.
The book connects with fields such as feminist theory, literary theory, and social science, and is a valuable resource for anyone who wants to delve into feminist postcolonial theory and related disciplines.
