Postcolonial Literatures in the Local Literary Marketplace - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Jenni Ramone
خلاصه: Asks what reading means in India, Nigeria, Cuba, and the UK, through close readings of literary texts from postcolonial, spatial, architectural, cartographic, materialist, trauma, and gender perspectives.
Offers new analysis of local literary marketplaces: Post-revolutionary Cuban publishing, the Onitsha Market in Nigeria, Black consciousness bookshops in Britain, and relocated bookshops and libraries during the Partition of India.
Demonstrates that books and reading offer means of resistance and recovery in postcolonial contexts, and that postcolonial literature foregrounds the significance of literature and art.
