Imagining Neoliberal Globalization in Contemporary World Fiction (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book takes a broad cross-cultural approach to analyzing the literature of our increasingly transnationalized world system, considering how its key constituent features and local-level manifestations have been thematized and imaginatively embraced by literary fiction produced from the perspective of the periphery of the capitalist world system.
