SPATIAL POLITICS IN THE POSTCOLONIAL NOVEL

Routledge 2010

An expansive monograph, this is the first work to engage with the question of how contemporary postcolonial literature thinks spatiality as a question of power. Using case studies from Toni Morrison, Salman Rushdie and Wilson Harris alongside reference to a wide range of postcolonial authors, the book advances the notion of post-space as a way of thinking the chaotic disruption which postcolonial authors frequently enact as a spatialised category of resistance.
