Zusammenfassung:"On what terms and concepts can we ground the comparative study of Anglophone literatures and cultures around the world today? What, if anything, unites the novels of Witi Ihimaera, the speculative fiction of Nnedi Okorafor, the life-writings by Stuart Hall, and the emerging Anglophone Arab literature by writers like Omar Robert Hamilton? This volume explores the globality of Anglophone fiction both as a conceptual framing and as a literary imaginary. It highlights the diversity of lives and worlds represented in Anglophone writing, as well as the diverse imaginations of transnational and planetary connections articulated in it. Featuring a variety of internationally renowned scholars, this book thinks through Anglophone literature not merely as a crippling legacy of colonial rule, or as exoticizing commodity in a global literary marketplace, but as an inherently transcultural literary medium that facilitates the articulation of divergent experiences of modernity and the critique of hierarchies and inequalities within, among, and beyond post-colonial societies."
