Reviews
This book marks a new path. From its opening to its concluding lines, it is analytically precise, uncannily well-read, forthright without being blunt, and as comprehensive as any study of world literature is ever likely to be. The book promises a new comparatism and it very much delivers: eloquently, intelligently, and with a distinctive command. -- Professor Timothy Brennan Hinging on the powerful explanatory value of the concept of combined and uneven development, this well-conceived and carefully researched collective effort makes a strong case for its own, highly developed 'world-systems' approach to the 'world' in 'world literature' while at the same time situating itself critically but patiently within the welter of rubrics and jargons that have made any scholarly venture into postcolonial and/or world literary territories a parlous one simply because of the danger of getting bogged down in endlessly sectarian disputes over the purported politics implied in the adoption of this or that self-designation. -- Professor Neil Larsen
