Summary:
"The perception of the Other has changed while a predilection for othering has endured. Our primary goal with this collection of essays is to contribute to the nascent field of Postcolonial Gothic Studies, understood binomially as a postcolonial version of "Gothic studies" and as the study of "postcolonial Gothic.""-- Provided by publisher.
