Review Quotes: "[T]his book is of immense value and should find a home not only on the syllabuses of seminars devoted to intercultural inquiry but also in introductions to literary theory, where it could serve as a means of bringing intercultural inquiry into the central position within theoretical discussions that it should occupy by right and by necessity." --Alexander J. Beecroft, University of South Carolina
