This monograph is the first to identify an important theoretical
overlap between Anglo-Saxon and Lusophone postcolonial theories:
the systematic neglect of gender and sexual variables in the
analysis of the marketing of cultural difference in the post
colonial era. Drawing on the theoretical work of Graham Huggan and
Boaventura de Sousa Santos, the author of this study discusses the
political significance of this neglect by focusing on the
asymmetrical positions occupied by two widely acclaimed Lusophone
women writers, Paulina Chiziane of Mozambique and Lidia Jorge of
Portugal. The book asks how these two contemporary writers deal
with master narratives such as Lusofonia, exoticism, capitalism and
post colonialism in their novels, and examines the implications of
placing gender and sexual difference at the heart of the 'post
colonial exotic'.
