This book examines the global/local intersections and tensions at
play in the literary production from Aotearoa New Zealand through
its engagement in the global marketplace. Combining postcolonial
and world literature methodologies contributors chart the global
relocation of national culture from the nineteenth century to the
present exploring what "New Zealand literature" means in different
creative, teaching, and publishing contexts. They identify ongoing
global entanglements with local identities and tensions between
national and post-national literary discourses, considering
Aotearoa New Zealand's history as a white settler colony and its
status as a bicultural nation and a key player in the Asia-Pacific
region, active on the global stage. Topics and authors include:
Stefanie Herades on colonial New Zealand literature and the global
marketplace; Claudia Marquis on David Hare's "Aotearoa series" as
exotic reading for adolescents; Paloma Fresno-Calleja on the
exoticizing landscape novels of Sarah Lark; James Wenley on Indian
Ink Theatre company as hybrid export; Janet M. Wilson on the
globalization of the New Zealand short story; Chris Prentice on
pedagogic articulations of New Zealand literature; Leonie John on
the challenges of teaching Maori literature in Germany; Dieter
Riemenschneider on New Zealand literature at the Frankfurt Book
Fair; Paula Morris on Commonwealth writers and the Booker Prize;
Selina Tusitala Marsh on contemporary Pasifika poetry; and Chris
Miller on the afterlife of Allen Curnow. The chapters in this book
were originally published as a special issue of the Journal of
Postcolonial Writing.
