Contemporary women authors appropriate Shahrazad's figure in their fictions in terms of themes and structure. This constitutes a novel concept, postcolonial feminine writing, which draws on Helene Cixous's and Frantz Fanon's theories.
This book focuses on the premise that contemporary postcolonial women writers
reclaim a new position of writing which mirrors and transcends the storytelling
of Shahrazad in terms of theme and structure. It questions the extent to which
Shahrazad is employed as a liberating figure in contemporary postcolonial women's
narratives. Postcolonial feminine writing allows temporary interventions into the
patriarchal and colonial discourses. The repetition of these temporary interventions
suggests the possibility of more subversive and liberating literary discourses.

Mine Sevinç holds a PhD in English literature from the University of Surrey, UK. She
teaches and researches in the areas of postcolonial women's writing, gender theories,
theories of the gaze and Shahrazad's re-narratives in contemporary postcolonial
fiction.
