Beschreibung:
EMMA DAWSON VARUGHESE is an independent scholar. She works at the intersection of world literature and cultural studies, drawing on ethnographic research paradigms to conduct her fieldwork. She is author of Reading New India (2013) which explores post-millennial fiction from India, her specialism.
With the backdrop of new global powers, this volume interrogates the state of writing in English. Strongly interdisciplinary, it challenges the prevailing orthodoxy of postcolonial literary theory. An insistence on fieldwork and linguistics makes this book scene-changing in its approach to understanding and reading emerging literature in English.
This volume presents fieldwork findings from seven countries around the world and demonstrates that new writing, sourced through the fieldwork, is demonstrative of being 'beyond the postcolonial'
