Bringing together contributions from various disciplines and
academic fields, this collection engages in interdisciplinary
dialogue on postcolonial issues. Covering African, anglophone,
Romance, and New-World themes, linguistic, literary, and cultural
studies, and historiography, music, art history, and textile
studies, the volume raises questions of (inter)disciplinarity,
methodology, and entangled histories. The essays focus on the
representation of slavery in the transatlantic world (the USA,
Jamaica, Haiti, and the wider Caribbean, West Africa, and the UK).
Drawing on a range of historical sources, material objects, and
representations, they study Jamaican Creole, African masks, knitted
objects, patchwork sculpture, newspapers, films, popular music, and
literature of different genres from the Caribbean, West and South
Africa, India, and Britain. At the same time, they reflect on
theoretical problems such as intertextuality, intermediality, and
cultural exchange, and explore intersections - postcolonial
literature and transatlantic history; postcolonial and
African-American studies; postcolonial literary and cultural
studies. The final section keys in with the overall aim of
challenging established disciplinary modes of knowledge production:
exploring schools and universities as locations of postcolonial
studies. Teachers investigate the possibilities and limits of their
respective institutions and probe new ways of engaging with
postcolonial concerns. With its integrative, interdisciplinary
focus, this collection addresses readers interested in
understanding how colonization and globalization have influenced
societies and cultures around the world. Contributors: Anja Bandau,
