Description: The Limits of Cosmopolitanism by Aleksandar Stevic, Philip Tsang Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description The essays collected in this volume explore how contemporary literature imagines living between identities and locales—Nigerian and American, Turkish and German, Sudanese and European—in order to ask broad questions about the meaning of cosmopolitanism. Publisher Description This book examines the limits of cosmopolitanism in contemporary literature. In a world in which engagement with strangers is no longer optional, and in which the ubiquitous demands of globalization clash with resurgent localist and nationalist sentiments, cosmopolitanism is no longer merely a horizon-broadening aspiration but a compulsory order of things to which we are all conscripted. Focusing on literary texts from such diverse locales as England, Algeria, Sweden, former Yugoslavia, and the Sudan, the essays in this collection interrogate the tensions and impasses in our prison-house of cosmopolitanism.
