ENDORSEMENTS BEING SOUGHT Postcolonial Literary Studies Series Editors: David Johnson and Ania Loomba This series examines how Postcolonial Studies reconfigures the major periods and areas of literature. The books relate key literary and cultural texts both to their historical and geographical contexts, and to contemporary issues of neo-colonialism and global inequality. Each volume not only provides a comprehensive survey of the existing field of scholarship and debate, but is also an original intervention in its own right. Each book includes: a time line; an introductory literature survey; discussion of critical, theoretical, historical and political debates; exemplary critical readings of literary texts; and further reading. Medieval Literature and Postcolonial Studies Lisa Lampert-Weissig Medieval Literature and Postcolonial Studies provides a comprehensive introduction to the field of postcolonial medieval studies and examines the historical connections between postcolonial studies and medieval studies. Lisa Lampert-Weissig provides new readings of medieval texts including Wolfram von Eschenbach's Parzival, Mandeville's Travels and Guillaume de Palerne, a romance about werewolves set in Norman Sicily. In addition, she examines Walter Scott's Ivanhoe from the perspective of postcolonial medieval studies, as well contemporary novels by Salman Rushdie, Tariq Ali, Juan Goytisolo, and Amitav Ghosh. The book also argues for the importance of postcolonial medievalisms to understandings of current issues ranging from the issue of race in Barack Obama's 2007 US Presidential campaign, Samuel Huntington's 'Clash of Civilisations' thesis and the debate over 'Islam in Europe'. Professor Lisa Lampert-Weissig teaches in the Literature Department at the University of California, San Diego.
