Date: Tue, 30 Jun 1998 18:12:43 +0100 From: Ato Quayson <laq10-AT-cus.cam.ac.uk> Subject: Re: Postcolonial tool box Dear Robert, As an opening to questions of comparative frameworks in ethnography and literature, I suggest you take a look at Marilyn Strathern's *Partial Connections* (Rowman and Littlefield, 1991). Her five page preface is particularly interesting as a theoretical exploration of some issues involved. The rest of the book is also good as an overview of the literary tendency in contemporary anthropology. I am sure you will find ideas there to take across into postcolonial studies. Good luck.
