Critique and Utopia in Postcolonial Historical Fiction

Atlantic and Other Worlds

Beschreibung

This volume explores how postcolonial historical fiction can be a valuable resource for thinking about the prehistory of our present. It examines how novels from, and about, the Atlantic and Indian Ocean worlds present specific historical and oceanic instances of colonialism and highlights the continuities between the colonial era and our own.
