Description

This timely volume focuses on the period of decolonization and the Cold War as the backdrop to the emergence of new and diverse literary aesthetics that accompanied anti-imperialist commitments and Afro-Asian solidarity. Competing internationalist frameworks produced a flurry of writings that made Asian, African and other world literatures visible to each other for the first time. The book’s essays examine a host of print culture formats (magazines, newspapers, manifestos, conference proceedings, ephemera, etc.) and modes of cultural mediation and transnational exchange that enabled the construction of a variously inflected Third-World culture which played a determining role throughout the Cold War.

The essays in this collection focus on locations as diverse as Morocco, Tunisia, South Asia, China, Spain, and Italy, and on texts in Arabic, English, French, Hindi, Italian, and Spanish. In doing so, they highlight the combination of local debates and struggles, and internationalist networks and aspirations that found expression in essays, novels, travelogues, translations, reviews, reportages and other literary forms.

With its comparative study of print cultures with a focus on decolonization and the Cold War, the volume makes a major contribution both to studies of postcolonial literary and print cultures, and to cultural Cold War studies in multilingual and non-Western contexts, and will be of interest to historians and literary scholars alike.

This volume draws on a conference organized by Francesca Orsini at SOAS, University of London, in January 2019 under the aegis of her MULOSIGE (Multilingual Locals and Significant Geographies) project and the Postcolonial Print Culture (PPC) network led by Neelam Srivastava at Newcastle University and Rajeshwari Sunder Rajan at New York University. 1 We first and foremost thank the European Research Council for funding the MULOSIGE project and this open access book, and the Centre for Cultural, Literary, and Postcolonial Studies at SOAS for hosting us. We also thank the MULOSIGE and PPC network members and other speakers who presented at the SOAS conference but could not submit their papers (Sara Marzagora, Hala Halim, Anjali Nerlekar, Tanya Agathocleous, Rossen Djagalov, James Procter, Ruvani Ranasinha, Asha Rogers, B. Venkat Mani and Duncan Yoon), and Emily Sibley for her invaluable administrative help. We are delighted that this is the first volume to bring together members of MULOSIGE (Francesca, Itzea, and Karima) and the PPC network (Neelam, Paulo, Supriya, and Laetitia). We also thank Peter Kalliney for contributing an Afterword , and Laetitia for facilitating it. Finally, we thank the anonymous Open Book Publishers (OBP) readers for their suggestions, and OBP for being the great open access publishers they are.
