On what terms and concepts can we ground the comparative study of
Anglophone literatures and cultures around the world today? What,
if anything, unites the novels of Witi Ihimaera, the speculative
fiction of Nnedi Okorafor, the life-writings by Stuart Hall, and
the emerging Anglophone Arab literature by writers like Omar Robert
Hamilton? This volume explores the globality of Anglophone fiction
both as a conceptual framing and as a literary imaginary. It
highlights the diversity of lives and worlds represented in
Anglophone writing, as well as the diverse imaginations of
transnational and planetary connections articulated in it.
Featuring a variety of internationally renowned scholars, this book
thinks through Anglophone literature not merely as a crippling
legacy of colonial rule, or as exoticizing commodity in a global
literary marketplace, but as an inherently transcultural literary
medium that facilitates the articulation of divergent experiences
of modernity and the critique of hierarchies and inequalities
within, among, and beyond post-colonial societies.
