Books in the Postcolonial Perspectives on Eastern Europe series

The author investigates the interplay between literature, politics, market and identity in contemporary Ukraine (1991-2018). The sections of this book explore the contested role of Russophone culture in Ukraine, highlighting the impact of Russian-Ukrainian political relations on social developments in post-independence and post-Maidan times.

The present volume focuses on the postcoloniality of the Russian, Polish, Ukrainian, and Czech literatures from post-communist times and that of the translingual diaspora. The contributions deal with the exploration of literary representation and hence of postcolonial textuality - of poetics, textual structures, rhetoric, and tropes.

Die Autorin analysiert Werke von Irena Brezna, Jurij Brezan, Mascha Dabic, Roza Domascyna, Olga Grjasnowa, Barbi Markovic, Olga Martynova und Aleksandar Tisma. Die Texte setzen sich mit multiplen Zugehorigkeiten, Mehrsprachigkeit und Ubersetzung auseinandersetzen und thematisieren Diskriminierung, Rassismus und Antisemitismus.
