Through close readings of works by writers like C.L.R. James, Salman Rushdie, Ama Ata Aidoo, Michelle Cliff, and Hanif Kureishi, this book examines instances of textual resistance elaborated within imperial/metropolitan epistemologies and ideologies. It focuses especially on each writer's historical location, personal and political affiliations, presumed audiences, and her/his position on gender as integral contextual determinants of the strategies of textual resistance each deploys.
