Interviews With Writers of the Post-Colonial
World
by Feroza Jussawalla (Editor), Reed Way Dasenbrock (Editor)
This timely, fascinating addition to the respected "Conversations"
series includes interviews with 14 Third World and Chicano writers of stature
who share "a common heritage of multilingualism . . . displacement and
migration." Chinua Achebe, Sandra Cisneros, and others from Africa, the
Indian subcontinent, and the Caribbean discuss their own and one another's work,
personal history and outlook, the literary canon, and such issues as language
choice, culture, and foreign residence. Although familiarity with these writers
and with critical thought will enhance the experience of this volume, all readers
with an interest--or a class assignment--in "marginalized" literature
will enjoy this book and benefit from it. For all academic and many public and
school libraries.
