As empire \"wrote back\" to the self-ordained centres of the world, modes of representation underwent a transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eExploring novels and diverse forms of literature from regions in West Africa, the Middle East, and Indigenous America, \u003ci\u003eMaps of Empire\u003c\/i\u003e considers how writers struggle with the unstable boundaries generated by colonial projects and their dissolution. The literary spaces covered in the book form imaginary states or reimagine actual cartographies and identities sanctioned under empire. The works examined in \u003ci\u003eMaps of Empire\u003c\/i\u003e, through their inner representations and their outer histories of reception, inspire and provoke us to reconsider boundaries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kyle Wanberg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1487506848\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487506841\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/26\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.90d","brand":"Kyle Wanberg","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46199158735103,"sku":"9781487506841","price":71.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b078a431-3a25-4dad-b92e-db565c81f5bf.jpg?v=1727925216","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/maps-of-empire-kyle-wanberg-9781487506841","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
