Description for Interdisciplinary Measures
Paperback. A title that looks specifically at the intersections between literary criticism, history, anthropology, geography and environmental studies, while arguing more specifically for a postcolonialism across the disciplines in the service of informed (cross-) cultural critique.

Bringing together a wide range of literary material from Africa, Australia, Canada, the Caribbean, New Zealand and South ... Read more
