Some of postcolonial studies’ most talented established and emerging scholars have published their research here. The series has also staged some of the liveliest intellectual debates in the field. Long may its work continue!"" - Claire Chambers, University of York ""Active since 1990, Cross/Cultures is a cutting-edge book series covering the whole range of the colonial and post-colonial experience across the English-speaking world as well as the literatures and cultures of non-anglophone countries. The series accommodates both studies by single authors and edited critical collections.” - Bénédicte Ledent, Université de Liège and Delphine Munos, Université de Liège ""Marking the rapid expansion of colonial and postcolonial studies over the past three decades, Cross/Cultures has the reputation for high quality research into the dynamics of anglophone cultural production world-wide. With its outstanding publication record, this vibrant series is indispensable for all scholars working in the field."" - Janet M.
