The concept indexs a new set of relationships between nations of the once colonized world as their connections to nations of the North diminish in significance. Such relationships index particularly clearly in contemporary cultural theory and literary production. The Global South and Literature explores the historical, cultural and literary applications of the term for twenty-first-century flows of transnational cultural influence, tracing their manifestations across the Global Southern traditions of Africa, Asia and Latin America. This collection of interdisciplinary contributions examines the origins, development and applications of this emergent term, employed at the nexus of the critical social sciences and developments in literary humanities and cultural studies. This book will be a key resource for students, graduates and researchers working in the field of postcolonial studies and world literature Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Subject Literature, Modern -- 21st century -- Themes, motives Literature, Modern -- 20th century -- Themes, motives Postcolonialism in literature.
