SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This dissertation argues that, through a series of selected recollections, memoirists write about personal experiences that have shaped not only their identities, but also their communities; memoirs thereby perform significant ideological work and function as a powerful medium for understanding the world. Memoirs may also serve as historical testimony and subvert institutionalized knowledge by immersing readers in a deeply personal and specific version of history. Specifically, this study examines how Leila Ahmed's A Border Passage, Edwidge Danticat's Brother, I'm Dying and Alexandra Fuller's Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight act as oppositional discourses.
