National Literature in Multinational States

National Literature in Multinational States questions the persistent association of literature and nation-states in contrast with the reality of multinational and ethnocultural diversity. It interrogates the very idea of nation as well as the concepts and manifestations of nationalism in the context of literary production, particularly at a historical moment when social unity and political agreement have never been more elusive. The volume strives for synoptic analysis via the complementary, multifaceted treatment of literature in several geo-cultural contexts: Canada, the Caribbean, Europe, India, and Nigeria.
