Book excerpt: From the PREFACE: This book contains all of Olive Schreiner's yet unprinted or uncollected imaginative writings, except at least one novel to appear later, which it is proposed to bring forward. They appear unaltered, except in a few minor respects like punctuation, as I found them among her papers. The date and place of writing, affixed by herself, will be found in many of these writings. Regarding the others, I am able to add a few notes. "Who Knocks at the Door?" the latest in date, was published in Fortnightly Review in November 1917.

Download or read book Dreams written by Olive Schreiner and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2002-12-31 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together for the first time the entire range of the shorter pieces of imaginative writing that she continued to produce throughout her life, together with her final account of the vision informing her life's work. It rescues Schreiner from the charge of having exhausted a slim talent in one semi autobiographical novel and provides a context in which to situate a woman writer whose idealist concerns recognised no simple geographical boundaries. To picture her as first and foremost a colonial writer or, alternatively, primarily as a member of the finde-siecle British avant garde, does little justice to the links she made in her own writing and to the complex situation she occupied, for Olive Emilie Albertina Schreiner's life (1855-1920) straddled two centuries and two continents, while her travels between the land of her birth, South Africa, and her family's European homeland embroiled her in the political ferment of two wars: the Boer War (1899-1902) and the first World War (1914-1918).

Download or read book Imperialism, Labour and the New Woman written by Liz Stanley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-03-18 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Olive Schreiner (1855-1920) was the best-known feminist theorist and writer of her time. Her writings spanned a number of conventionally separate genres (including the novel, short story, allegory, political essay, polemic and theoretical treatise), which she crafted to produce a highly distinctive feminist and analytical 'voice'. A feminist who was contemporaneously an internationally-renowned social commentator, Schreiner's developing political analysis was - and still is - highly original. She developed a materially-based socialist and feminist analysis of 'labour' which led her to theorise social and economic change, divisions of labour in society and between women and men, capitalism and imperialism, around innovative ideas about how -- and by whom -- economic and social value was produced. She combined with this a keen attention to inter-personal relations, between women as literally or politically sisters, between 'respectable' and sexually outcast women, between feminist women and the 'New Men', and within the family. Distinctively, Schreiner's writings on economic and political life in South Africa criticised the policies and practice of Rhodes in the Cape Colony and British imperialism in southern Africa more widely. She opposed the South African War of 1899-1902, promoted federation rather than union as the form the South African state should take and insisted on equal political rights for all. Schreiner steadfastly opposed the development of apartheid segregationist policies and provided a radical analysis of the relationship between 'race' and capital. Imperialism, Labour and the New Woman is based on primary archive research, making particular use of Schreiner's unpublished letters and other major manuscript sources to provide a major reconceptualisation of the scope and importance of her writings and innovative and experimental ideas about genre and form. It offers a major rethinking of Schreiner's political writings on South Africa, and it emphasises the distinctiveness of Schreiner's contribution as the major feminist theorist of her age and that which followed. The book will appeal particularly to readers interested in the development of social theory, in influential feminist ideas and writing of the fin de sicle period, in the contemporary critique of capitalism and imperialism, and in 'the age of imperialism' in Southern Africa, as well as to Women's Studies scholars across the academic disciplines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Allegories of the Anthropocene Elizabeth M. DeLoughrey traces how indigenous and postcolonial peoples in the Caribbean and Pacific Islands grapple with the enormity of colonialism and anthropogenic climate change through art, poetry, and literature. In these works, authors and artists use allegory as a means to understand the multiscalar complexities of the Anthropocene and to critique the violence of capitalism, militarism, and the postcolonial state. DeLoughrey examines the work of a wide range of artists and writers—including poets Kamau Brathwaite and Kathy Jetñil-Kijiner, Dominican installation artist Tony Capellán, and authors Keri Hulme and Erna Brodber—whose work addresses Caribbean plantations, irradiated Pacific atolls, global flows of waste, and allegorical representations of the ocean and the island. In examining how island writers and artists address the experience of finding themselves at the forefront of the existential threat posed by climate change, DeLoughrey demonstrates how the Anthropocene and empire are mutually constitutive and establishes the vital importance of allegorical art and literature in understanding our global environmental crisis.

Book excerpt: Dreamer is 30 pages, full amazing color paintings. Written by Sheri Hauser with pictures by Karna Peck (her sister-and world class artist). This story was originally released as a children's book because it was a story about a little girl. One summer when I visited Karna at her home in the Northwest, she took me to a Mexican Restaurant and showed me a collection of murals. I was amazed at them and requested to take pictures of all of them to preserve the art. I inserted them into this story along with some clip art. When I showed it to my sister, she was aghast at the clip art insertion and insisted I remove it. That was in 2007. The 'book' has stayed on the shelf without its upgrades until today (2014). Of course, this is a story about me. I am a dreamer who was in the right place at the right time willing to come to God as a small child and believe He is willing to be my Father. And, all of a sudden His voice broke through to me in dreams and visions (off in the distance as a small still voice). It is as a mirage in the sunset only seen at just the right angle. In order to hear God's voice and see His visions we must come to Him with a pure heart as a child and be willing to risk letting go of today to see that which is not normally seen. It takes the faith of a child; one who builds sand castles. When God gives words, dreams or insight into a direction for our lives, it is not like anything else. As in the story, everyone hopes to receive this type of direction. Everyone on the island hoped there was something more. Do not be deceived, even those who declare themselves to be agnostic still secretly hope there is a God out there; there is a spiritual world outside of their selves. In the story, even the scientist secretly exposes the pictures before being willing to show them to anyone else, hoping, for himself, that there is a world other than the island he lives on. But the little girl is labeled a liar when others do not see what she proclaims to be true. So, as the story progresses, her family turns against her and tells her to bear the cost of her lies. For sure; it costs to be willing to believe in the words and see the vision which is given by God. Dreamer has a happy ending when the small girl has a friend who is willing to take a risk to see the land in the distance. It is with joy I now share my allegory with you. May you be willing to come to God as a child, position yourself in a place where you can see the vision and dream of a world outside of yourself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: So Long Been Dreaming: Postcolonial Science Fiction & Fantasy is an anthology of original new stories by leading African, Asian, South Asian and Aboriginal authors, as well as North American and British writers of color. Stories of imagined futures abound in Western writing. Writer and editor Nalo Hopkinson notes that the science fiction/fantasy genre “speaks so much about the experience of being alienated but contains so little writing by alienated people themselves.” It’s an oversight that Hopkinson and Mehan aim to correct with this anthology. The book depicts imagined futures from the perspectives of writers associated with what might loosely be termed the “third world.” It includes stories that are bold, imaginative, edgy; stories that are centered in the worlds of the “developing” nations; stories that dare to dream what we might develop into. The wealth of postcolonial literature has included many who have written insightfully about their pasts and presents. With So Long Been Dreaming they creatively address their futures. Contributors include: Opal Palmer Adisa, Tobias Buckell, Wayde Compton, Hiromi Goto, Andrea Hairston, Tamai Kobayashi, Karin Lowachee, devorah major, Carole McDonnell, Nnedi Okorafor-Mbachu, Eden Robinson, Nisi Shawl, Vandana Singh, Sheree Renee Thomas and Greg Van Eekhout. Nalo Hopkinson is the internationally-acclaimed author of Brown Girl in the Ring, Skin Folk, and Salt Roads. Her books have been nominated for the Hugo, Nebula, Tiptree, and Philip K. Dick Awards; Skin Folk won a World Fantasy Award and the Sunburst Award. Born in Jamaica, Nalo moved to Canada when she was sixteen. She lives in Toronto. Uppinder Mehan is a scholar of science fiction and postcolonial literature. A South Asian Canadian, he currently lives in Boston and teaches at Emerson College.
