This is an excellent collection, well worth the expense.It is diverse: poetry, reviews, personal anecdotes,history, politics.... from writers from the USA (including African American and Native American), Ireland, Ghana, the Dominican Republic, Palestine, Germany and beyond.I purchased this book as a kickstart to my PhD thesis on women, writing, creativity and the home.Although many of the contributions are written by academics, it is notable that several are not; I feel that it would also be an enjoyable read outside of academia.Product Description
This collection of critical and creative work reconceptualizes what home and being at home means for women writers worldwide. Rather than focusing on how concepts of exile, nomadism, and displacement structure women's cultural and literary texts-as many recent critics have done-these essays and poems, many of which are published here for the first time, re-evaluate the meanings of home, community and relocation.
