The Cross-Cultural Legacy
Critical and Creative Writings in Memory of Hena Maes-Jelinek
Series: - Cross/Cultures, Volume: 193
This volume pays tribute to the formidable legacy of Hena MaesâJelinek (1929â2008), a pioneering postcolonial scholar who was a professor at the University of Liège, in Belgium. Along with a few moving and affectionate pieces retracing the life and career of this remarkable and deeply human intellectual figure, the collection contains poems, short fiction, and metafiction. The bulk of the book consists of contributions on various areas of postcolonial literature, including the work of Wilson Harris, the ground-breaking writer to whom Hena MaesâJelinek devoted much of her career. Other writers treated include Ben Okri, Leone Ross, Kamau Brathwaite, Jamaica Kincaid, Peter Carey, Murray Bail, Patrick White, Janice Kulyk Keefer, Dan Jacobson, Joseph Conrad, and Eslanda Goode Robeson. Caryl Phillips revisits his earlier reflections on the âEuropean tribeâ. There are wide-ranging essays analysing consanguineous authors, on such topics as Caribbean treatments of the Jewish Diaspora, Swiss-Caribbean authors, the contemporary Australian short story and the Asian connection, and âhabitationâ in Australian fiction, as well as a searching examination of the socio-political fallout from the scandal of Australiaâs âStolen Generationsâ.
