Refiguring Speech: Late Victorian Fictions of Empire and the Poetics of Talk
Amy R. Wong
In this book, Amy R. Wong unravels the colonial and racial logic behind seemingly innocuous assumptions about ""speech"": that our words belong to us, and that self-possession is a virtue. Through readings of late-Victorian fictions of empire, Wong revisits the scene of speech's ideological foreclosures as articulated in postcolonial theory.
