POSTCOLONIAL EUROPE: Transcultural and Multidisciplinary Perspectives

The special issue Postcolonial Europe: Transcultural and Multidisciplinary Perspectives, «Social Identities», vol. 17., n.1, 2011, edited by Sandra Ponzanesi and Bolette B. Blaagaard, is available on http://www.informaworld.com/smpp/title~db=all~content=g932485901

This special issue approaches feminist, postcolonial and race theory from different cultural, disciplinary and national backgrounds. The contributors engage with the question of what makes Europe postcolonial and how memory, whiteness and religion figure in representations and manifestations of European ‘identity’ and selfperception.

It is the output of the ‘Postcolonial Europe’ working group, coordinated by Sandra Ponzanesi and Bolette B. Blaagaard, operating under Athena3, the Advanced Thematic Network of Women’s Studies in Europe (http://www.athena3.org/).
