{"product_id":"world-literature-after-empire-pieter-vanhove-9780367655204","title":"World Literature After Empire: Rethinking Universality in the Long Cold War","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book makes the case that the idea of a \"world\" in the cultural and philosophical sense is not an exclusively Western phenomenon. During the Cold War and in the wake of decolonization a plethora of historical attempts were made to reinvent the notions of world literature, world art, and philosophical universality from an anticolonial perspective. Contributing to recent debates on world literature, the postcolonial, and translatability, the book presents a series of interdisciplinary and multilingual case studies spanning Europe, the United States, and China. The case studies illustrate how individual anti-imperialist writers and artists set out to remake the conception of the world in their own image by offering a different perspective centered on questions of race, gender, sexuality, global inequality, and class. The book also discusses how international cultural organizations like the Afro-Asian Writers' Bureau, UNESCO, and PEN International attempted to shape this debate across Cold War divides.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pieter Vanhove\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367655209\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367655204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/29\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 212\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.56d","brand":"Pieter Vanhove","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43944257716479,"sku":"9780367655204","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_f3d3613a-1c96-49fa-a75c-c6e07827bfc9.jpg?v=1681502661","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/world-literature-after-empire-pieter-vanhove-9780367655204","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
