Description:
This book engages with postcolonial and world literature approaches to examine the worldly imaginary of the novel genre and assert the political imperative to teaching world literature.
Review Quotes:
A wonderfully fresh and unpredictable voice in the sometimes all too predictable debates between world literature and postcolonial studies.
--Bruce Robbins, Columbia University
This book is an important and timely intervention in the fields of world literature, the postcolonial novel, and literary history and criticism. Hawas's attention to aesthetics and pedagogy in her reading of a wide range of literary texts is remarkable.
--Kifah Hanna, Trinity College
