Ian Almond

4.9/5 (14415 ratings)

Description:What would World literature look like, if we stopped referring to the 'West'? Starting with the provocative premise that the 'West' is ten percent of the planet, World Literature Decentered is the first book to decenter Eurocentric discourses of global literature and global history - not just by deconstructing or historicizing them, but by actively providing an alternative. Looking at a series of themes across three literatures (Mexico, Turkey and Bengal), the book examines hotels, melancholy, orientalism, femicide and the ghost story in a series of literary traditions outside the 'West'. The non-West, the book argues, is no fringe group or token minority in need of attention - on the contrary, it constitutes the overwhelming majority of this world.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
