Spatial Politics in the Postcolonial Novel

More about the book

Focusing on spatial locations in postcolonial literature, the study highlights the works of Wilson Harris, Toni Morrison, and Salman Rushdie, while also referencing other authors. It challenges the traditional emphasis on national identity, emphasizing how journeys, cities, homes, and bodies serve as sites of resistance against colonial and neo-colonial legacies. Upstone's transnational approach reveals the significance of these locales in articulating personal and communal narratives of defiance and identity.
