β¦ Synopsis
Bringing together a range of critics working in 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. The book aims in particular to reconsider the role of the British Isles in this field and to bridge the gap between postcolonial literatures in English and those written in other languages.
