Simon Gikandi has set out to reveal '...the very nature of (Achebe's) creativity, its prodigious complexity and richness...its paradoxes and ambiguities.

ISBN: 9780199765096 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 608 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Why did the novel take such a long time to emerge in the colonial world? And, what cultural work did it come to perform in societies where subjects were not free and modes of social organization diverged from the European cultural centers where the novel gained its form and audience? Answering these questions and more, Volume 11, The Novel in Africa and the Caribbean since 1950 explores the institutions of cultural production that exerted influence in late colonialism, from missionary schools and metropolitan publishers to universities and small presses. How these structures provoke...

Slavery and the Culture of Taste
ISBN: 9780691160979 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) It would be easy to assume that, in the eighteenth century, slavery and the culture of taste--the world of politeness, manners, and aesthetics--existed as separate and unequal domains, unrelated in the spheres of social life. But to the contrary, Slavery and the Culture of Taste demonstrates that these two areas of modernity were surprisingly entwined. Ranging across Britain, the antebellum South, and the West Indies, and examining vast archives, including portraits, period paintings, personal narratives, and diaries, Simon Gikandi illustrates how the violence and ugliness of...

They begin with a chronology of key historical events and an overview of the emergence and transformation of literary culture in the region. Then they provide...
