The globalization debate has become a dominant question in many
disciplines but has only tended to be covered within literary
studies in the context of postcolonial literature. This book
focuses on reading contemporary novels in relation to
globalization.Interpreting recent American fiction in terms linked
to the growing appreciation of culture's place in the globalization
debate, this book offers an innovative, critical approach to the
study of contemporary literature.Prompted by the contemporary
American novel's preoccupation with consumerism and the market,
this book considers the implications these texts raise for the
analysis of globalization and suggests that they offer unique ways
of knowing and understanding contemporary social and economic
contexts. Far from simply reflecting existing realities, "The
Fictions of Globalization" reads contemporary writing's focus on
consumption and the market as the sign of a productive exchange
between the forces of commercial coordination and the enduringly
creative and expressive patterns of modern culture.
