Ethnic Literatures and Transnationalism: Critical Imaginaries for a Global Age de Aparajita Nanda

Ethnic Literatures and Transnationalism: Critical Imaginaries for a Global Age: Routledge Transnational Perspectives on American Literature

Editat de Aparajita Nanda
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 feb 2018
As new comparative perspectives on race and ethnicity open up, scholars are identifying and exploring fresh topics and questions in an effort to reconceptualize ethnic studies and draw attention to nation–based approaches that may have previously been ignored. This volume, by recognizing the complexity of cultural production in both its diasporic and national contexts, seeks a nuanced critical approach in order to look ahead to the future of transnational literary studies.
The majority of the chapters, written by literary and ethnic studies scholars, analyze ethnic literatures of the United States which, given the nation’s history of slavery and immigration, form an integral part of mainstream American literature today. While the primary focus is literary, the chapters analyze their specific topics from perspectives drawn from several disciplines, including cultural studies and history. This book is an exciting and insightful resource for scholars with interests in transnationalism, American literature and ethnic studies.

Recenzii

'Ethnic Literatures and Transnationalism provides new perspectives on how contemporary ethnic writers, filmmakers and visual artists animate in original, distinctive, and creative ways the transnational spaces they encounter in the present and recover from the past. These discussions of hybrid texts infused by hybrid cultures—of counterfactual histories and alternative futures; of refugees and migrants; of forgotten artists and erased civilizations; of nomads, cautious cosmopolites, and citizens of the world—all help us think in fresh ways about transnational communities, global mobility, trauma, loss, and the complex flow of cultures across borders.'
-- Shelley Fisher Fishkin, Joseph S. Atha Professor of Humanities, Professor of English, and Director of American Studies, Stanford University
'This rich anthology does not merely transnationalize ethnic studies but also ethnicizes transnationalism. A novel foray into new frontiers of ethnic studies within and beyond the United States, it makes an important contribution to studies of ethnicity, diaspora, transnationalism, postcoloniality, and multiculturalism. Highly recommended.'
-- Shu-mei Shih, Professor, Department of Comparative Literature, University of California, Los Angeles, and the University of Hong Kong
'A thought -provoking collection which addresses the current transnational turn in the USA as it impinges on ethnic literatures, reframing them in relation to the cross-currents of world literature and the tensions between global forces and ethnic subcultures.'
-- Janet Wilson, Department of English, University of Northampton, UK
'These essays seek variously to de-provincialise U. S. American studies by setting to work the ‘transnationalist turn’. Returning the United States to its postcolonial as well as superpower trajectory, the collection reveals how ethnic and postcolonial studies, no less than diaspora studies, must be at the heart of any broaching of transnationalism within a neo-liberal globalizing frame. Spanning contemporary London, Oklahoma, and Ethiopia, Beijing as well as the British Commonwealth, this wide-ranging book evidences richly the utopian potential of transnational literature, in Bill Ashcroft’s phrase, for envisaging a less border-burdened world. Those seeking a Benjaminian interruption in the stream of time, a breaching of an otherwise ceaseless ‘repetition of unfulfilled expectations’, to quote Jonathan Flatley on W. E. B. DuBois, will find much of compelling interest here.'
-- Donna Landry, Professor, FRAS, School of English, Rutherford College, University of Kent, UK
