Reviews

Decolonisations of Literature is wide-ranging, rigorous and highly readable. The framework of this study is refreshingly ambitious. Helgesson's project ranges across Africa and Brazil to explore various twentieth-century attempts at decolonising literature. Tobias Warner, University of California, Davis


Decolonisations of Literature is wide-ranging, rigorous and highly readable. The framework of this study is refreshingly ambitious. Helgesson's project ranges across Africa and Brazil to explore various twentieth-century attempts at decolonising literature. By making far-flung debates accessible to scholars working across different fields, this intervention will go a long way toward realising the promise of its title. Tobias Warner, University of California, Davis
