Description
This book’s main contributions happen on three levels; a feminist approach to magical realism, a hemispheric approach in which the literature of women in the Americas is examined and a critical approach to magical realism. Instead of recruiting magic against realism, it reads magic as part of cultural reinvention relevant to collective memory.
Nasrin Babakhani researches in the areas of literary criticism, magical realism, realism postcolonialism, and feminism. She holds a Ph.D. in North American studies from the University of Göttingen.
