<html><div style='background-color:'><DIV><BR>Northern Michigan U is doing a seminar called "Perspectives on Evil" and I have been asked to present. I want to look at representation of evil in postcolonial literature and I want to tie it in with gender. However, I am afraid to tackel this issue at this time without adding to the misundersting and confusion of the almost all white students at this campus. Yet as a postcolonial feminist, I want to bring this issue up and teach, which is what I do. I want to look at the "pure" and "impure" regarding gender represenation and construction without adding to the stereotypes. What a daunting tast it seems nowadays! You might wonder where I am headed with this. Well, could you please nudge me toward a good essay or book that looks at gender oppression and the construction of women as evil in Indian literature and culture (movies, etc.) that I can present to the upper div English class here. Any help is greatly appreciated. How do you think a movie like FIRE do for a start? Also I want to do a comparative with some western text that looks at such construction too to give it some balance.</DIV>
