SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Throughout the second half of the 20th century various societies were shaped by conflicting trends of globalization and nationalist resurgence, powerful surges of collective identities as well as fragmentation into individualistic subjects. This book analyzes what is termed by the author as 'deconstructive rewritings' in culturally relevant ways.
