    Content: Toni Morrison has written some of the most significant and demanding fiction of the modern age. Her dazzling depictions of African-American experience are studied in high schools and colleges, debated in the media and analyzed by scholars at an astounding rate. This Introduction offers readers a guide to the world of Morrison in all its complexity, from her status as a key player on the global intellectual stage to her unique perspective on American history and her innovative narrative techniques. Covering every novel from The Bluest Eye to A Mercy, Tessa Roynon combines close readings with critical insights into Morrison's other creative work, such as short stories, libretto and song lyrics and unpublished pieces for performance. Lively and accessibly written, Roynon's insightful text is ideal for readers approaching Morrison for the first time as well as those familiar with her work

    Series Statement: Race and Resistance Across Borders in the Long Twentieth Century 3
    Content: This collection of essays presents a study of migration cultures in the contemporary Mediterranean with a particular focus on Italy as a point of migratory convergence and pressure. It investigates different experiences of, and responses to, sea crossings, borders and checkpoints, cultural proximity and distance, race, ethnicity and memory, along with creative responses to the same. In dialogic and complementary interaction, the essays explore violence centring on race as the major determining factor. The book further submits that the interrogation of racialized categories represents different kinds of critical response and resistance, which involve both political struggle and day-to-day survival and coexistence. Following the praxis of cultural and postcolonial studies, the essays focus on the present but draw indispensable insight from past connections and heritage as well as offering prognoses for the future. The ambitious aim of this collection is to identify some useful lines of thought and action that could help us to think outside intricacy, isolation and defensiveness, which characterize most of the public official reactions to migration today.
    Content: «Migration and the Contemporary Mediterranean is all about crossing borders, blurring boundaries, following routes, traversing distances and differences. It rereads space as transits marked by the remembrance of things past, present and future. The book itself is a wonderful exercise in the very kind of mapping that is the very life of the Mediterranean.» (Lawrence Grossberg, Distinguished Professor of Communication and Cultural Studies, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill) «Carefully woven and attuned by Claudia Gualtieri, this collective book radically unpacks what is currently discussed as a ‹migration crisis› in Italy and in Europe. A sea of death and a sea of struggle for thousands of migrants, the Mediterranean becomes a prism that unmakes familiar geographies, partitions and borders. And migration becomes a movement whose political implications continue to challenge our imagination.» (Sandro Mezzadra, Associate Professor of Political Theory, University of Bologna, and co-author, with Brett Neilson, of Border as Method, or, the Multiplication of Labor (2013)) «Claudia Gualtieri’s remarkable collection reflects from multiple perspectives both creative and scholarly on the perilous pathways traced in our new millennium across this most traversed of seas. It would be difficult to think of a more evocative, humane response to the European migration crisis than we find in these pages with their important lessons that connectivity is irrefutable, scholarship defeats hatred, and stories give shelter.» (Elleke Boehmer, Professor of World Literature in English, University of Oxford)

    Imperial Infrastructure and Spatial Resistance in Colonial Literature, 1880–1930 (2017)

    Series Statement: Race and Resistance Across Borders in the Long Twentieth Century 2
    Content: Between 1880 and 1930, the British Empire’s vast infrastructural developments facilitated the incorporation of large parts of the globe into not only its imperial rule, but also the capitalist world-system. Throughout this period, colonial literary fiction, in recording this vast expansion, repeatedly cited these imperial infrastructures to make sense of the various colonial landscapes in which they were set. Physical embodiments of empire proliferate in this writing. Railways and trains, telegraph wires and telegrams, roads and bridges, steamships and shipping lines, canals and other forms of irrigation, cantonments, the colonial bungalow, and other kinds of colonial urban infrastructure – all of these infrastructural lines broke up the landscape and gave shape to the literary depiction and production of colonial space. By developing a methodology called «infrastructural reading», the author shows how a focus on the infrastructural networks that circulate through colonial fiction are almost always related to some form of anti-imperial resistance that manifests spatially within their literary, narrative and formal elements. This subversive reading strategy – which is applied in turn to writers as varied as H. Rider Haggard, Olive Schreiner and John Buchan in South Africa, and Flora Annie Steel, E.M. Forster and Edward Thompson in India – demonstrates that these mostly pro-imperial writings can reveal an array of ideological anxieties, limitations and silences as well as more direct objections to and acts of violent defiance against imperial control and capitalist accumulation.
    Content: «For Davies, infrastructure in colonial fiction persists as a reminder of the economic unevenness inherent within the project of imperialism. Drawing on a range of thinkers (J.A. Hobson, Rosa Luxemburg, Edward Soja, Edward Said, amongst others), he argues that the inequality produced by global imperial capital takes on a distinct, and contradictory, spatial form in the colonies: underdevelopment coexists with development in these spaces as the shanty town is never too far from the developed roads, bridges, railways.» «Davies insists that an infrastructural mode of reading offers the only true record of resistance – a claim grounded in his privileging of a materialist/economic lens. Taking this interplay between real and imagined geographies a step further, he argues that infrastructures in fiction directly shape and organize spaces outside.» «[T]his a theoretically enlightening book that broadens our conceptual understanding of the multiple materialist registers on which infrastructures operate in colonial fiction.» (Niyati Sharma, Journal of Postcolonial Writing, Vol. 54, Number 6 2019)
    Note: CONTENTS: Infrastructure, Resistance, Literature – Mapping Humanitarianism: Flora Annie Steel and the Contradictions of Colonial Capitalism – Mapping Segregation: Literary Geographies of South Africa – Mapping Frontiers: John Buchan and the Topographies of Imperial Ideology – Mapping Nationalism: Allegories of Uneven Development – Towards an Infrastructural Reading of the Present.

    Series Statement: Race and Resistance Across Borders in the Long Twentieth Century 1
    Content: Can a book change the world? If books were integral to the creation of the imperial global order, what role have they played in resisting that order throughout the twentieth century? To what extent have theories and movements of anti-imperial and anticolonial resistance across the planet been shaped by books as they are read across the world? This updated edition of Fighting Words responds to these questions by examining how the book as a cultural form has fuelled resistance to empire in the long twentieth century. Through fifteen case studies that bring together literary, historical and book historical perspectives, this collection explores the ways in which books have circulated anti-imperial ideas, as they themselves have circulated as objects and commodities within regional, national and transnational networks. What emerges is a complex portrait of the vital and multifaceted role played by the book in both the formation and the form of anticolonial resistance, and the development of the postcolonial world.
    Content: «The volume remains an excellent source of inspiration for the classroom and for a form of academic research that builds on praxis and aims for social change.» (Claire Gallen, Commonwealth Essays and Studies, 41.1) «Importantly, the volume achieves the rare feat of both providing ample material for reflection and leaving its readers wanting to know more about the books examined within its pages. In this sense, Fighting Words is a most stimulating read; it should be of considerable interest to a large number of students and researchers in postcolonial studies.» (Darica Tunca, Recherche Littéraire, 35)

Conner: Afterword: How Ralph Ellison Speaks to the World.
    Content: This essay collection begins the vast project that is the global history of Ralph Ellison’s life and work. It examines how and why this avowedly «American» author read literature and scholarship from across the world and has in turn been widely read outside the borders of the USA. How did Ellison’s encounters with the «international» Henry James, the Cambridge Ritualists, the Roman poet Ovid and with Dostoevsky shape both the aesthetics and the politics of his own work? And what is the relationship between Invisible Man and the complex and always evolving political and cultural contexts of South Africa, the USSR and Russia, Germany and Japan since World War II? Contributors from seven different countries – based in Asia, Africa, Europe and the USA – deploy significant archival research both in Ellison’s personal library and in the translation and reception histories of his iconic first novel. This study of «the world in Ellison and Ellison in the world» initiates an important new approach in Ellison studies, illuminating hitherto hidden dimensions of the man and his writings
    Content: «In Global Ralph Ellison: Aesthetics and Politics Beyond US Borders, editors Tessa Roynon and Marc Conner assemble eight penetrating essays that demand a reassessment of the vaunted «Americanness» too often used to circumscribe Ellison’s work. By weaving rich archival material together with fresh analytical approaches, these essays reveal the underappreciated international influences on Ellison’s intellectual and artistic formation as well as the incredible reception Invisible Man has enjoyed across the globe. A treasure trove for Ellison readers and researchers alike, Global Ralph Ellison provides an intriguing new lens for studying, appreciating, and wrestling with Ellison’s work and ideas.»(Lena M. Hill, Washington and Lee University)
