  • Close Encounters: Solidarity, Servitude and Postcolonial Feminist Affects and Affiliations

    Denise Decaires NarainARTICLEWomen a Cultural Review2013References: 6

    This essay offers close readings of three texts that in different ways foreground the problems, possibilities and struggle involved in forging affective connections across difference between women.
