Bringing together scholars of world and postcolonial literatures, the contributors explore the aesthetics of resistance through concepts including the epistemology of ignorance, the rhetoric of innocence, the subversion of paying attention, and the radical potential of everydayness. Addressing a broad range of examples, from the Maghrebian humanist Ibn Khaldn to India's Facebook poets and examining writers such as Langston Hughes, Ben Okri, Sara Uribe, and Merle Collins, this highly relevant book reframes the field of world literature in relation to dissenting politics and aesthetic. It asks the urgent question: how critical practice might cultivate radical thought, further social justice, and value human expression? 606 $aSocial conflict in literature 606 $aDissenters in literature 606 $aPostcolonialism in literature 606 $aEquality in literature 606 $aSocial justice in literature 606 $aAesthetics, Modern 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y21st century$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aSocial conflict in literature. 615 0$aDissenters in literature. 615 0$aPostcolonialism in literature. 615 0$aEquality in literature. 615 0$aSocial justice in literature. 615 0$aAesthetics, Modern. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a809.933581 701 $aBurns$b Lorna$01129343 701 $aMuth$b Katie$01207175 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910545197203321 996 $aWorld Literature and Dissent$92784641 997 $aUNINA
