{"product_id":"joyce-race-and-finnegans-wake","title":"Joyce, Race and 'Finnegans Wake'","description":"\u003cp\u003eLen Platt charts a fresh approach through one of the great masterpieces of twentieth-century literature. Using original archival research and detailed close readings, he outlines Joyce's literary response to the racial discourse of  twentieth-century politics. Platt's account is the first to position Finnegans Wake in precise historical conditions and to explore Joyce's engagement with European fascism. Race, Platt claims, is a central theme for Joyce, both in terms of the colonial and post-colonial conflicts between the Irish and the British, and in terms of its use by the extreme right. It is in this context that Joyce's engagement with race, while certainly a product of colonial relations, also figures as a wider disputation with rationalism, capitalism and modernity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46646796255470,"sku":"9780521120340","price":64.56,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780521120340.jpg?v=1750161427","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/joyce-race-and-finnegans-wake","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
