Political Hystories

"Political Hystories" focuses on the nature of private and public, national and international, colonial and postcolonial pasts and histories as they are and have been written by women novelists, journalists, political activists, and autobiographers. It asks what kind of theorized view of personal-and-political, ethnic, class-related, and (inter)national history women authors offer. This book examines the work of a range of women writers from varied backgrounds and explores the multiple perspectives from which they (re)create and (de)construct a feminist political history.
