Publisher Description: Translating Nations shows how approaches to postcolonial theory cross traditional disciplinary boundaries and demand their reinterpretation. Issues addressed in this publication of multicultural studies include the destabilized relationship between cultural centres and margins; the challenge to history writing posed by the rejection of grand narratives; and, now that the violence of earlier cultural identifications has been perceived, the possibilities that exist to reconsider the formation of nationhood and the constitution of the state. |
