This book is an edited volume of essays that showcases how books played a crucial role in making and materialising histories of travel, scientific exchanges, translation, and global markets from the late-eighteenth century to the present. While existing book historical practice is overly dependent on models of the local and the national, we suggest that approaching the book as a cross-region, travelling – and therefore global- object offers new approaches and methodologies for a study in global perspective. By thus studying the book in its transnational and inter-imperial, textual, inter-textual and material dimensions, this collection will highlight its key role in making possible a global imagination, shaped by networks of print material, readers, publishers and translators.

Offers an introduction to the growth area of colonial and postcolonial writing in English. This book combines a contextualising narrative situating key developments in imperial and postcolonial history, with theoretical readings of key texts that illuminate important concepts and definitions, including 'writing back' and 'mimicry'.

This second edition of Nelson Mandela VSI focuses on a far-reaching critical look at meanings of reconciliation and Mandela's ethic of reciprocity.

Exploring the intersection of literature and postcolonial theory, this work delves into the ways cultural narratives shape identity and experience in a postcolonial context. It examines various texts and authors, highlighting how their works respond to colonial legacies and engage with themes of displacement, hybridity, and resistance. By analyzing poetic forms and their political implications, the book offers insights into the complexities of postcolonial identities and the transformative power of literature in articulating social and cultural critiques.
