Domestic Space and the Legacies of Colonialism

S. Strehle examines transnational women’s fiction published between 1995 and 2005, bringing together novels from Australia, Canada, India, Nigeria, Puerto Rico, and the United States. The study treats fictional houses as politically charged spaces: private homes register broader colonial histories and expose how ideas of belonging, nation, and domestic life can carry exclusion and oppression. Centering the linked concepts of home and homeland, it places women’s writing in a comparative, postcolonial literary-critical framework.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Students and scholars of women’s writing
  • Readers studying postcolonial and transnational literary criticism
  • Those interested in representations of home, nation, and belonging in fiction
