This edited volume provides a wide- ranging introduction to the
novelistic oeuvre of the prize- winning author Abdulrazak Gurnah.
It addresses a gap in Gurnah scholarship by including chapters
which discuss his earlier works that have not received the
scholarly attention they deserve. Drawing on a range of critical
lenses including postcolonial theory, Indian Ocean studies,
psychoanalytic theory, migration studies and gender studies, this
book provides illuminating commentary on his novels. Attentive to
the geographical and historical reach of the narratives, the
chapters engage with recurring thematic concerns of departures and
arrivals; of complex family relationships; and of precarious
cosmopolitan hospitality in situations of changing power relations
from the old Indian Ocean monsoon trading system to colonial and
postcolonial contexts. The volume concludes with an author
interview. It will be of great interest to researchers in the
fields of Literary and Cultural Studies, especially Postcolonial
Literature, African Studies and Indian Ocean Studies. The chapters
in this book were originally published as a special issue of
English Studies in Africa.
