This collection ranges far and wide, as befits the personality and
accomplishments of the dedicatee, Geoffrey V. Davis, German studies
and exile literature scholar, postcolonialist (if there are
'specialties', then Australia, Canada, India, South Africa, Black
Britain), journal and book series editor.... The volume opens with
essays on cultural theory and practice, proceeds to close analyses
of 'settler colony' texts from Canada, India, Australia, and New
Zealand (drama, fiction, and poetry) as well as Pacific drama and
Canadian indigeneity, thence 'homeward' to the UK (black drama,
Scottish fiction, the music of Morrissey) and to German themes
(exile literature; fictions about Hitler). Because Geoff's
commitment to literature has always been 'hands-on', the book
closes with a selection of poems and experimental prose. Writers
discussed include Carmen Aguirre, Hany Abu-Assad, Beryl Bainbridge,
Albert Belz, Peter Bland, Peter Carey, Lynda Chanwai-Earle, Kamala
Das, Robert Drewe, Eric Emmanuel-Schmitt, Toa Fraser, Stephen Fry,
Dianna Fuemana, Mavis Gallant, Alasdair Gray, Xavier Her-bert,
Janette Turner Hospital, Elizabeth Jolley, Wendy Lill, Varanasi
Nagalakshmi, Arundhati Roy, Daniel Sloate, Drew Hayden Taylor, Jane
Urquhart, Roy Williams, and Arnold Zweig.
