In Recasting the World Jonathan White brings togeather a distinguished group of contributors to examine aspects of postcolonial literatures in English from around the world.
"The attempt to remap the colonial past in ways which will disclose its complexity, contradictions and heterogenity will allow western scholars to participate in ant-colonial critique- something that oppositional practices have not really permitted... I am confident that Recasting the World will prove to be a useful and timely teaching text for both Undergraduate and and Graduate courses in the Western world." -- Anne Maxwell, Literature and History
