Comparing Postcolonial Literatures: Dislocations

Bringing together a range of critics working on the hispanic and francophone as well as anglophone postcolonial regions, this book aims to dislocate some of the commonly accepted cultural, linguistic and geographical boundaries that have previously informed postcolonial studies. Collected essays include cross-cultural comparisons from areas as diverse as Africa, Ireland and Latin America, analysis of specific texts as sites of border conflict and revisions of postcolonial theoretical frameworks.
