Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can we talk about World Literature if we do not actually examine the world as a whole? Research on World Literature commonly focuses on the dynamics of a western center and a southern periphery, ignoring the fact that numerous literary relationships exist beyond these established constellations of thinking and reading within the Global South. Re-Mapping World Literature suggests a different approach that aims to investigate new navigational tools that extend beyond the known poles and meridians of current literary maps. Using the example of Latin American literatures, this study provides innovative insights into the literary modeling of shared historical experiences, epistemological crosscurrents, and book market processes within the Global South which thus far have received scant attention. The contributions to this volume, from renowned scholars in the fields of World and Latin American literatures, assess travelling aesthetics and genres, processes of translation and circulation of literary works, as well as the complex epistemological entanglements and shared worldviews between Latin America, Africa and Asia. A timely book that embraces highly innovative perspectives, it will be a must-read for all scholars involved in the field of the global dimensions of literature.

Book excerpt: Throughout the world women are writing creatively about their experience, through in many cases and for many reasons their literature remains a vast untapped source of unheard voices. This book provides a provocative and stimulating introduction to that increasingly vociferous achievement. The book is divided geographically into five main regions: Africa, the Arab World, Asia, the Caribbean and Latin America. Each contributor looks at the literary traditions, the cultural and social background of the women writers, and the many problems they face, especially in cultures where literature in general and criticism in particular are dominated by men. Each section is prefaced by a revealing selection of proverbs and includes a major interview with one writer. The writers interviewed are Miriam Tlali (South Africa), Etel Adnan (Lebanon), Nabaneeta Deb-Sen (India), Astrid Roemer (Surinam) and Cristina Peri Rossi (Uruguay).

This book was released on 2007-09-14 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In cooperation with Roland Spliesgart The map of world Christianity has changed dramatically in just the last century. Today the majority of Christians live in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, making Christianity a world religion as never before in history. Given that global reality, Klaus Koschorke, Frieder Ludwig, and Mariano Delgado have created the first comparative documentary history of Christianity for these regions covering the period 1450–1990. Taking the changing ecumenical conditions into account, this volume enlarges the horizon of classical church historiography. In contrast to the prevailing Western perspectives on the history of Christianity in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, voice is given here to the multitude of local initiatives, specific experiences, and varieties of Christianity in very diverse cultural contexts -- addressing such questions as the colonial conquest, slavery, and the demand for ecclesiastical independence.
