“The studies in this book bring to the question of 'otherness' new dimensions, theoretical perspectives, and rich insights that should contribute in significant ways to discussions of literary theory and cultural criticism. The authors approach the question from a variety of perspectives, ranging from the biological to the psychological, cultural, and political implications of 'otherness.' They address the question in its intra-societal as well as inter-societal dimensions. The essays are rich in coverage, theoretically sophisticated, and intricate in analysis.” (Arif Dirlik, Duke University) (Quelle: www.sunypress.edu) /cp (Leihgeber: Kanadische Botschaft)
