Starting with the provocative premise that the \"'West' is ten percent of the planet\", \u003ci\u003eWorld Literature Decentered \u003c\/i\u003eis the first book to decenter Eurocentric discourses of global literature and global history - not just by deconstructing or historicizing them, but by actively providing an alternative. Looking at a series of themes across three literatures (Mexico, Turkey and Bengal), the book examines hotels, melancholy, orientalism, femicide and the ghost story in a series of literary traditions outside the \"West\". The non-West, the book argues, is no fringe group or token minority in need of attention - on the contrary, it constitutes the overwhelming majority of this world.　\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ian Almond\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367683377\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367683375\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/14\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"Ian Almond","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43944179630335,"sku":"9780367683375","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_21702a05-0739-4732-b540-c3a25afaafe5.jpg?v=1681502253","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/world-literature-decentered-ian-almond-9780367683375","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
