Exploring the connections between autobiography and postmodernism, this volume addresses self-representation in a variety of literatures--Native American, British, Chicana, immigrant, and lesbian, among others--in genres as diverse as poetry, naming, confession, photography, and the manifesto. The essays examine how different writers respond to the culturally specific pressures of genre, how these constraints are negotiated, and what self- representation reveals about the politics of identity.
