Reviews

""I applaud Salam Mir on this book; the comparison of literature from Guyana and Palestine, while accounting for colonial legacies, is original. There is a great need to bridge research from different regions of the Global South in such a manner (the Caribbean and the Middle East), and the selection of poems and memoirs is particularly compelling and provides a representative sense of agency and narratives in these contexts."" --Sa'ed Atshan, Associate Professor of Peace and Conflict Studies and Anthropology, Swarthmore College, USA ""Salam Mir puts in conversation Guyanese and Palestinian resistance literature to find their points of convergence and divergence. Her postcolonial approach rests on a deep dive into history that lays bare the Eurocentrism of comparative studies, and comprehends the rootedness of the literatures of the Global South in the struggle for liberation."" --Ibrahim G. Aoudé, Professor Emeritus of Ethnic Studies, University of Hawai'i, Manoa, USA
