Description: World Literature Decentered : Beyond the West Through Turkey, Mexico and Bengal, Paperback by Almond, Ian, ISBN 1032034556, ISBN-13 9781032034553, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US What would world literature look like, if we stopped referring to the “West”? Starting with the provocative premise that the “'West’ is ten percent of the planet”, World Literature Decentered is 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), th examines hotels, melancholy, orientalism, femicide and the ghost story in a series of literary traditions outside the “West”. The non-West, th argues, is no fringe group or token minority in need of attention – on the contrary, it constitutes the overwhelming majority of this world.
