Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Authors Salman Rushdie, Jamaica Kincaid, Darryl Pinckney, and Bharati Mukherjee report from the same No Man’s Land, the shadowland between the traditional worlds of colonizer and colonized and the 21st century’s global monoculture. In Regenerative Fictions, Alexandra W. Schultheis brings postcolonial and psychoanalytic theories together to explore this tumultuous zone, a place that is at once cutting edge, open wound, and sutured scar. This analysis of the authors’ political and aesthetic strategies reveals fissures in the ruling ideology of subject and nation as well as immanent resistance to it.
