Anomalous States

"The writing of Ireland exemplifies the crisis of representation. It is a literature of territorial division, Anglocentric appropriation, diasporic peoples and exilic authors, that stages the vivid, visceral struggle to belong, to return, to re-make a tradition. "Anomolous States" explores these ambivalences of post-colonial identity and nationhood with a memorable brillance. David Lloyd's readings make a considerable contribution to contemporary cultural studies."--Homi K. Bhabha
