This volume explores ways in which the literary trope of the
palimpsest can be applied to ethnic and postcolonial literary and
cultural studies. Based on contemporary theories of the palimpsest,
the innovative chapters reveal hidden histories and uncover
relationships across disciplines and seemingly unconnected texts.
The contributors focus on diverse forms of the palimpsest: the
incarceration of Native Americans in military forts and their
response to the elimination of their cultures; mnemonic novels that
rework the politics and poetics of the Black Atlantic; the urban
palimpsests of Rio de Janeiro, Marseille, Johannesburg, and Los
Angeles that reveal layers of humanity with disparities in origin,
class, religion, and chronology; and the palimpsestic
configurations of mythologies and religions that resist strict
cultural distinctions and argue against cultural relativism.
