- Summary
- "Huma Ibrahim covers multiple 'women's stories' in African, South Asian and African American Literature through her postcolonial, feminist and global lens. This book is an eye-opener for examining other women's bodies and desires. She presents the first academic analysis on Sarah Bratman's body politics. This treatise is an original and unique perspective into the other women's body. She both challenges and verifies the hypothesis of Homi Bhabha, Edward Said, Gayatri C. Spivak and others. In this book she has developed her own concepts about and beyond hybridity. It is a must-read for anyone in a critical global society. The detailed analysis leads to the culmination of universal conclusions as well as opening up new horizons for discussion on the other body."--
