The Differentiated Self

The Differentiated Self intends to propose in a multifarious spectrum – the short story, the interview, the visual arts – a study of the transformation of female identities into a legitimate element of a new Canadian specificity. The colonial past of course is not lost, but it does not hinder the process of the adoption of a new citizenship. Such a perspective goes beyond what was up to now the dominant sphere of a postcolonial vision. Here is the novelty and the freshness of this book.
