This book explores the Indian Ocean world as it is produced by
colonial and postcolonial fiction in English. It analyses the work
of three contemporary authors who write the Indian Ocean as a
region and world-Amitav Ghosh, Abdulrazak Gurnah, and Lindsey
Collen-alongside maritime-imperial precursor Joseph Conrad. If
postcolonial literatures are sometimes read as national allegories,
this book presents an account of a different and significant strand
of postcolonial fiction whose geography, in contrast, is coastal
and transoceanic. This work imaginatively links east Africa, south
Asia and the Arab world via a network of south-south connections
that precedes and survives European imperialism. The novels and
stories provide a vivid, storied sense of place on both a local and
an oceanic scale, and in so doing remap the world as having its
centre in the ocean and the south.
