By means of contextualized readings, this work argues that
autobiographic writing allows an intimate access to processes of
colonization and decolonization, incorporation and resistance, and
the formation and reformation of identities which occurs in
postcolonial space. The book explores the interconnections between
race, gender, autobiography and colonialism and uses a method of
reading which looks for connections between very different
autobiographical writings to pursue constructions of blackness and
whiteness, femininity and masculinity, and nationality. Unlike
previous studies of autobiography which focus on a limited Euro
American canon, the book brings together contemporary and
19th-century women's autobiographies and travel writing from
Canada, the Caribbean, Kenya, South Africa, Australia and New
Zealand. With emphasis on the reader of autobiography as much as
the subject, it argues that colonization and resistance are deeply
embedded in thinking about the self.>
