{"product_id":"the-long-space-peter-hitchcock-9780804762373","title":"The Long Space: Transnationalism and Postcolonial Form","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe resurgence of \"world literature\" as a category of study seems to coincide with what we understand as globalization, but how does postcolonial writing fit into this picture? Beyond the content of this novel or that, what elements of postcolonial fiction might challenge the assumption that its main aim is to circulate native information globally? \u003ci\u003eThe Long Space\u003c\/i\u003e provides a fresh look at the importance of postcolonial writing by examining how it articulates history and place both in content \u003ci\u003eand\u003c\/i\u003e form. Not only does it offer a new theoretical model for understanding decolonization's impact on duration in writing, but through a series of case studies of Guyanese, Somali, Indonesian, and Algerian writers, it urges a more protracted engagement with time and space in postcolonial narrative. Although each writer--Wilson Harris, Nuruddin Farah, Pramoedya Ananta Toer, and Assia Djebar--explores a unique understanding of postcoloniality, each also makes a more general assertion about the difference of time and space in decolonization. Taken together, they herald a transnationalism beyond the contaminated coordinates of globalization as currently construed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Hitchcock\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804762376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804762373\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2010 pg. 253","brand":"Peter Hitchcock","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926228566271,"sku":"9780804762373","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_0809e6be-2c9c-4bc1-9377-f3ee3eb81bb6.jpg?v=1681081912","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-long-space-peter-hitchcock-9780804762373","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
