While John Steffler's \u003ci\u003eThe Afterlife of George Cartwright \u003c\/i\u003ereveals the past influence of colonial ideology on mapping and historiography and its lasting effects, Daphne Marlatt's \u003ci\u003eAna Historic \u003c\/i\u003echallenges patriarchal mappings and historiographies. In \u003ci\u003eIn the Skin of a Lion \u003c\/i\u003eMichael Ondaatje portrays Canada in the early twentieth century as a capitalist society determined by colonial attitudes. Ondaatje's \u003ci\u003eThe English Patient \u003c\/i\u003eillustrates the difficulty of defining an individual or communal identity in the postcolonial age of globalisation. The analysis of these representative novels is complemented by references to further Canadian works which reveal that Canadian literature mirrors and promotes current debates on the construction of reality and on multicultural and global identities.","brand":"Peter Lang GmbH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53517485015383,"sku":"9783631535011","price":87.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/mapping-and-historiography-in-contemporary-canadian-literature-in-english-9783631535011","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
