Résumé

Daphne Marlatt's publication of three previously published travel writings together in Ghost Works foregrounds the different spaces the narrator moves through and the problem of home and place in these texts. As the word "home" echoes and re-echoes throughout Ghost Works, it picks up layers of meaning complicating the narrator's view of her self, her family, her mother, her nation, and her past. Biddy Martin and Chandra Talpade Mohanty's "Feminist Politics: What's Home Got to Do with It?" informs the discussion of both the power and appeal of home and its connections with exclusions and repressions.
