Reviews

A compelling and generative source for scholars and students of myriad fields. -Studies in the Novel Makes a compelling case for a rethinking of narrative moments including slavery, the Middle Passage, and colonization that have defined the fiction produced in a transatlantic geography. Provokes a reassessment of notions of Africa as an ur-home and figurations of nation-state. A must-read. --Maxine Lavon Montgomery, author of The Fiction of Gloria Naylor: Houses and Spaces of Resistance Shows how literary texts perform a cultural mediation of diasporic memory. --Wendy W. Walters, author of Archives of the Black Atlantic: Reading between Literature and History Moves productively between the civil-rights generation of African American novelists, to the cultural-nationalist generation of Caribbean writers from the decolonization era, to contemporary British, Canadian, and American writers. --Olakunle George, author of Relocating Agency: Modernity and African Letters


A compelling and generative source for scholars and students of myriad fields. --Studies in the Novel
