World Literature and Dissent reconsiders the role of dissent in
contemporary global literature. Bringing together scholars of world
and postcolonial literatures, the contributors explore the
aesthetics of resistance through concepts including the
epistemology of ignorance, the rhetoric of innocence, the
subversion of paying attention, and the radical potential of
everydayness. Addressing a broad range of examples, from the
Maghrebian humanist Ibn Khaldun to India's Facebook poets and
examining writers such as Langston Hughes, Ben Okri, Sara Uribe,
and Merle Collins, this highly relevant book reframes the field of
world literature in relation to dissenting politics and aesthetic.
It asks the urgent question: how critical practice might cultivate
radical thought, further social justice, and value human
expression?
