Description

Explore how anticolonial thinkers reimagined world literature and philosophical universality during the Cold War and decolonization era. This Routledge Studies in Comparative Literature volume presents interdisciplinary case studies across Europe, the United States, and China, challenging the notion that universal cultural concepts originated exclusively in the West. Through multilingual analysis and postcolonial theory, the book examines historical attempts to reconstruct world art and literature from non-Western perspectives. Essential reading for scholars of comparative literature, postcolonial studies, and cultural history seeking to understand how decolonization reshaped global intellectual thought and literary canonicity.

Key Features

Routledge Studies in Comparative Literature series offering rigorous academic analysis of world literature beyond Western frameworks.

Multilingual case studies spanning Europe, the United States, and China illustrate diverse anticolonial approaches to universality.

Interdisciplinary research connecting Cold War history, decolonization movements, and literary theory in accessible arguments.

Postcolonial perspectives challenge conventional assumptions about world art and philosophical universality.

Addresses contemporary debates on translatability and the politics of comparative literature in academic discourse.
