This collection of essays examines how Southeast Asian women
writers engage with the grand narratives of nationalism and the
modern nation-state by exploring the representations of gender,
identity and nation in the postcolonial literatures of Brunei
Darussalam, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, and the Philippines.
Bringing to light the selected works of overlooked local women
writers and providing new analyses of those produced by
internationally-known women authors and artists, the essays situate
regional literary developments within historicized geopolitical
landscapes to offer incisive analyses and readings on how women and
the feminine are imagined, represented, and positioned in relation
to the Southeast Asian nation.The book, which features both
cross-country comparative analyses and country-specific
investigations, also considers the ideas of the nation and the
state by investigating related ideologies, rhetoric, apparatuses,
and discourses, and the ways in which they affect women's bodies,
subjectivities, and lived realities in both historical and
contemporary Southeast Asian contexts. By considering how these
literary expressions critique, contest, or are complicit in
nationalist projects and state-mandated agendas, the collection
contributes to the overall regional and comparative discourses on
gender, identity and nation in Southeast Asian studies.
