Reviews
This rich collection of essays--ably framed and introduced by Diane Sorensen and Homi Bhabha--brings a series of finely rendered cases to bear on the inner dynamics that connect disciplinary and diversity, departures and destinations, home and the foreign. It will help us all move beyond the fake binary that opposes flow and fixity in critical cultural studies. --Arjun Appadurai, author of Fear of Small Numbers: An Essay on the Geography of Anger Territories and Trajectories offers a new conceptual vocabulary even as it explores the ramifications of thinking relationally across space, time, genres, media, and political forms. Nation and region-based categories are happily abjured in favor of constellations that expose us to the wonders of unexpected cross-spatial analyses across two millennia. A welcome addition to the enterprise of global humanities, this volume refreshes for our times the logics of mobility, cultural entanglements, disjunctive temporalities, and spatial realignments that have informed humanistic work on globalization over the past few decades. --Debjani Ganguly, director of the Institute of the Humanities and Global Cultures, University of Virginia and author of This Thing Called the World
