{"product_id":"9780415880398","title":"The Postcolonial City and its Subjects : London, Nairobi, Bombay (Routledge Research in Postcolonial Literatures)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book considers twentieth and twenty-first century literary and cultural formations of the postcolonial city and the constitution of new subjects within it. Varma offers a reading of both historical and contemporary debates on urbanism through the filter of postcolonial fictions and the cultural fields surrounding and containing them. In particular, she presents a representational history of London, Nairobi and Bombay in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries and engages three key theoretical frameworks—the city within postcolonial theory and culture (its troubled salience in the construction of postcolonial public spheres and identities, from local, rural, ethnic\/\"tribal\", and regional to \"national\", cosmopolitan and transnational subjects and spaces); postcolonial fictions as constituting a new world literary space and as a site of the articulation of contending narratives of urban space, global culture and postcolonial development; and postcolonial feminist citizenship as a universal political project challenging current neo-liberal and post neo-liberal contractions and eviscerations of public spaces and rights. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48684374884587,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":457.78,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9780415880398-1.jpg?v=1781623194","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9780415880398","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
