The notions of difference, power and subjectivities are used to unpack the academic and pedagogical practices of …

The author draws o…

These girls' writings indicate that they express multiple and often contradictory identities in their attempts to reconcile their present and projected personal and social roles. While there are emerging themes common to all these girls, there are also differences in the details of self-inscription given by the Malay, C…
