Women's fiction stretches and refashions the genres of
science fiction, realism, and magic realism to portray
widely disparate visions of community. We will consider the
following topics: the relation between individual and
community, the role of cultural memory in constituting
communities, and the influence of multiple axes of
oppression. The works to be considered present community as
a site of struggle rather than retreat, of conflict rather
than harmony.

Morrison, Louise Erdrich, Joy Kogawa, Toni Cade Bambara
