OverviewNot only were more African slaves transported to South America than to North, but overlapping imperialisms and shared resistance to them have linked Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean for over five centuries. Yet despite the rise in transatlantic, oceanic, hemispheric, and regional studies, and even the growing interest in South-South connections, the South Atlantic has not yet emerged as a site that captures the attention it deserves. The Global South Atlantic traces literary exchanges and interlaced networks of communication and investment-financial, political, socio-cultural, libidinal-across and around the southern ocean. Bringing together scholars working in a range of languages, from Spanish to Arabic, the book shows the range of ways people, governments, political movements, social imaginaries, cultural artefacts, goods, and markets cross the South Atlantic, or sometimes fail to cross. As a region made up of multiple intersecting regions, and as a vision made up of complementary and competing visions, the South Atlantic can only be understood comparatively. Exploring the Atlantic as an effect of structures of power and knowledge that issue from the Global South as much as from Europe and North America, The Global South Atlantic helps to rebalance global literary studies by making visible a multi-textured South Atlantic system that is neither singular nor stable.

Specifically, one could mention the changed and changing valences of terms like 'Third World,' the waning disciplinary and curricular influence of 'postcolonial,' and the disputations around questions of globalization, the undecidabilty of the parameters of the 'global South' and the continuing impact of Paul Gilroy's idea of the 'black Atlantic.' ... The argument that underwrites the project of the 'global South Atlantic' is at once incisive in its recapitulation of recent intellectual history and even prescient in its anticipation of new directions in area/cultural/regional/international studies across myriad disciplines of the humanities and social sciences. -- -Barbara Harlow University of Texas at Austin Author InformationKerry Bystrom (Edited By) Kerry Bystrom is Associate Professor of English and Human Rights and Associate Dean of the College at Bard College Berlin.
