Olive Schreiner
Dominic Davies talks about Olive Schreiner, the postcolonial South African author, and how her work, The Story of the African Farm, engages with the critical question of European hegemony in literary understanding and expectations of literary works.
Davies explores how Schreiner incorporates local reading tradition into her own work and encourages her readers to do the same.
