Summary:

Part literary history, part feminist historiography, this is a critically examination of influential novels by eminent black female writers. Studying these writers' key engagements with nationalism, race and gender during apartheid and the transition to democracy, Barbara Boswell traces the ways in which black women's fiction critically interrogates narrow ideas of nationalism. The result is an arc of feminist criticism speaking forcefully to racist, white-dominated, patriarchal power.
