Michelle Cliff and the Paradox of Privilege.
Aegerter, Lindsay Pentolfe
College English, v59 n8 p898-15 Dec 1997
Discusses pedagogical strategies that encourage keener and more sensitive student reactions to the postcolonial problematics represented in two essays by Jamaican writer Michelle Cliff, essays which often provoke hostility in mainstream, White, middle-class undergraduates. Discusses ways to create a context in the literature or writing classroom that discourages a facile dismissal of Cliff. (RS)
