In "Recasting the World: Writing after Colonialism", Jonathan White brings together a distinguished group ofcontributors to examine aspects of postcolonial literatures in English from around the world. With chapters by David Hulnie, Neil Lazarus, and seven additional authors, the book includes studies of individual writers (Morrison, Naipaul, Lamming, Gordimer, and Rushdie); of cultural positions, in Africa, New Zealand, Australia, and Canada; and a closing chapter on a distinctlv transnational literary form, travel writing.
"Recasting the World will be of interest not only to literary scholars and readers of Third World Literature but also to those rethinking education generally and the place of the canon in higher education from Bloom to Hirsch." -- Georg Gugelberger, University of California, Riverside
