Representations of mobility practices are discussed against three categories of cosmopolitanism reflecting the privileged, pragmatic, and critical aspects of the concept. \u003cbr\u003e The main scientific contribution of Toivanen's book is its attempt to enhance dialogue between postcolonial literary studies and mobilities research. The book criticises reductive understandings of 'mobility' as a synonym for migration, and problematises frequently made links between mobility and cosmopolitanism. \u003ci\u003eMobilities and Cosmopolitanisms\u003c\/i\u003e adopts a comparative approach to Franco- and Anglophone African and Afrodiasporic literatures, often discussed separately despite their common themes and parallel paths.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anna-Leena Toivanen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004546731\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004546738\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/16\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Anna-Leena Toivanen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44132338368767,"sku":"9789004546738","price":54.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ddc377cc-a051-4a2f-8304-b98480cb70a4.jpg?v=1687479605","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mobilities-and-cosmopolitanisms-in-african-anna-leena-toivanen-9789004546738","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
