The overall aim of the book is to reconceptualise the broader economic, cultural and social framework of the processes of alienation and of escape mechanisms employed by the individual as defence mechanisms in capitalist cultures. Suggesting that postmodern identity politics is unable to give a materialistic articulation of poverty and subordination, the book develops an anti-establishment, egalitarian and emancipatory framework in reading its authors: one which might also be implemented as part of a movement that aims to critique, resist and overthrow injustice and oppression." -- Back cover. 650 0 $a English fiction $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Psychological fiction, English $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Alienation (Philosophy) in literature. 650 0 $a Race in literature. 650 0 $a Social classes in literature. 650 0 $a Gender identity in literature. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190502025810.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=88E83B386CA011E9A39CB90697128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
