The texts that make up postcolonial print cultures are often found
outside the archival catalogue, and in lesser-examined repositories
such as personal collections, the streets, or appendages to
established collections. This volume examines the published and
unpublished writing, magazines, pamphlets, paratexts,
advertisements, cartoons, radio, and street art that serve as the
intellectual forces behind opposition to colonial orders, as
meditations on the futures of embryonic nation states, and as
visions of new forms of equality. The print cultures examined here
are necessarily anti-institutional; they serve as a counterpoint to
the colonial archive and, relatedly, to more traditional genres and
text formats coming out of large-scale publishers. This means that
much of the primary material analyzed in this book has not been
scrutinized before. Many of these print productions articulate
collective liberation projects with origins in the grassroots. They
include debates around the shape of the postcolonial nation and the
new state formation that necessarily draw on a diverse and
contentious public sphere of opinion. Their rhetoric ranges from
the reformist to the revolutionary. Reflecting the diversity,
indeed the disorderliness, of postcolonial print cultures this book
covers local, national, and transnational cultures from Asia,
Africa, Europe and the Americas. Its wide-ranging essays offer a
nuanced and, taken together, a definitive (though that is not to
say comprehensive or systematic) study of a global phenomenon:
postcolonial print cultures as a distinct literary field. The
chapters recover the efforts of writers, readers and publishers to
produce a postcolonialism ‘from below’, and thereby offer a
range of fresh perspectives on the meaning and history of
postcolonialism.
