Nasrin Babakhani
pubblicato da
Peter Lang GmbH, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften
This book is committed to women as writers and storytellers; all the selected novels are female-centric in that the main characters are women.The authors, also women, are from three diverse American ethnic groups from both the North and South. Through a close reading of several novels, Babakhani shows how the reinvention of cultural traditions serves these women writers as a political, decolonial, and feminist tool. Babakhani situates her readings in a critique of the concepts of realism and magical realism. Because magical realism sets realism against magic and implies binary oppositions, Babakhani proposes "cultural realism" as a revisionary concept that takes the cultural importance of rituals and beliefs seriously, without simply dismissing them as superstition.
