About this book

Bringing together a range of critics working on the hispanic and francophone as well as anglophone post-colonial regions, this book aims to dislocate some of the commonly accepted cultural, linguistic and geographical boundaries that have previously informed post-colonial studies. Collected essays include: cross-cultural comparisons from areas as diverse as Africa, Ireland and Latin America; analysis of specific texts as sites of border conflict; and revisions of post-colonial theoretical frameworks. A timely questioning of the categories of a critical field at the point when it is becoming increasingly comparative, this volume seeks to suggest more dynamic ways of working in post-colonial cultural studies.

Reviews

'...a timely and important collection of essays which challenges the intellectual and disciplinary borders of postcolonialism while attending to a variety of literatures often neglected in studies of postcolonial culture...As well as constituting a busy and intelligent contribution to the field, Comparing Postcolonial Literatures shows the way forward for postcolonial studies by pushing against its disciplinary borders in a healthy spirit of self-critique and innovation.' - John McLeod, University of Leeds
