Despite the anxieties that interdisciplinarity brings with it, a combination of different, discontinuously structured disciplinary knowledges is arguably best suited to address the tangled concerns of both the globalised present and the colonial past. The book looks specifically at the intersections between literary criticism, history, anthropology, geography and environmental studies, while arguing more specifically for a postcolonialism across the disciplines in the service of informed (cross-) cultural critique. Bringing together a wide range of literary material from Africa, Australia, Canada, the Caribbean, New Zealand and South Asia, the book also considers the different, but sometimes related, cultural contexts within which the key debates in postcolonial studies - e.g. those around globalisation, North-South relations and the new imperialism - are currently taking place. These debates suggest the need for a multi-sited, multilinguistic and, not least, multidisciplinary approach to postcolonial studies that consolidates its status as a comparative field. 410 0$aPostcolonialism across the disciplines ;$v1. 606 $aPostcolonialism in literature 606 $aPostcolonialism$xResearch 606 $aInterdisciplinary research 606 $aLiterature and society 606 $aLiterature and globalization 615 0$aPostcolonialism in literature. 615 0$aPostcolonialism$xResearch. 615 0$aInterdisciplinary research. 615 0$aLiterature and society. 615 0$aLiterature and globalization. 676 $a809.93358 700 $aHuggan$b Graham$f1958-$0158552 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809121203321 996 $aInterdisciplinary measures$91365434 997 $aUNINA
