- Summary:
- Haliloglu (PhD, U. of Heidelberg, Germany) explores the writings of Dominica-born novelist and short story writer Jean Rhys, founding her discussion on the assumption that self-narratives of fictional selves in Rhys's work have explanatory and descriptive power in constructing identities, particularly as they relate to the adversarial relationship between the marginalized from the colonial and feminine periphery and the [English] "Centre that refutes their [the periphery's] way of life and sometimes their very existence".
