Literature from the Peripheries: Refrigerated Culture and Pluralism
is a collection of chapters dealing with multiple minority cultures
from all over the world. The book examines the status of several
less known cultures or cultural communities which exist in the
peripheries of space and time. In addition to this, the arguments
and the discourses running through chapters prove the need of
cultural diversity and pluralism. This well-thought and critically
written book is a clarion call for humanity to look over the
shoulder and see the ghost of civilization receding farther away.
The book will interest the readers, scholars, practitioners, and
activists who like to explore several cultures and cultural
conflicts.
Afro-Caribbean Women's Writing and Early American Literature is
both pedagogical and critical. The text begins by re-evaluating the
poetry of Wheatley for its political commentary, demonstrates how
Hurston bridges several literary genres and geographies, and
introduces Black women writers of the Caribbean to some American
audiences. It sheds light on lesser-discussed Black women
playwrights of the Harlem Renaissance and re-evaluates the
turn-of-the century concept, Noble Womanhood in light of the Cult
of Domesticity.
Environmental Postcolonialism: A Literary Response is an academic
investigation of the environmental repercussions of colonial
destruction. This volume addresses the complex interplay between
postcolonialism and environmental discourse through literature
produced in the ex-colonies. This literature is read from the
standpoint of ex-colonies within their human and non-human context.
The primary objective of this volume is to scrutinize environmental
concerns in the light of postcolonial theory, and so it examines
works of art from the twin perspective of eco-criticism and
postcolonialism which illuminates and underscores how colonizers
destroyed and interfered with both nature and culture. Through
discussing the intersecting layers of ecocriticism and postcolonial
criticism, the volume gestures to new directions and generates a
hopeful vision of a decolonized world.
