Debates about the 'Black Atlantic' have alerted us to an experience
of modernization that diverges from the dominant Western narratives
of globalization and technological progress. This outstanding
volume expands the concept of the Black Atlantic by reaching beyond
the usual African-American focus of the field, presenting fresh
perspectives on postcolonial experiences of technology and
modernization. A team of renowned contributors come together in
this volume in order to: redefine and expand ideas of Black
Atlantic challenge unified concepts of modernization from a
postcolonial perspective question fashionable concepts of the
transnational by returning to the local and the national offer new
approaches to cross-cultural mechanisms of exchange explore utopian
uses of technology in the postcolonial sphere. Exploring a variety
of national, diasporan and transnational counternarratives to
Western modernization, Beyond the Black Atlantic makes a valuable
contribution to the fields of postcolonial, literary and cultural
studies.
