Through specific and rigorous analysis of contemporary literary texts, this book shows how writers from inside affected communities portray indigeneity, displacement, and trauma. In a world of increasing global inequality, this study aims to demonstrate how literature, and the study of it, can effect positive social change, notably in the face of global environmental, economic, and social injustice. This collection brings together a diverse and compelling array of voices from academics leading their fields around the world, to pioneer a new approach to literary analysis anchored in engagement with our changing world.

Since publishing Décoloniser l’imaginaire in 2007, Kate Rose has developed socioliterature, involving magical realism, trauma, feminism, and Indigeneity. She taught comparative world literature in China for several years and is now looking for a job in the U.S. Read her work at: https://cumt.academia.edu/KateRose. Contact: katerose8@yahoo.com.
