Religion, secularism, and the intricate negotiations between the two, codified as postsecularism, are fundamental conditions of globalized modernity. These concerns have been addressed in social science disciplines, but largely neglected in postcolonial and literary studies. To remedy this oversight, this monograph brings debates in religious and postsecular studies to bear on African literatures and postcolonial studies. The focus of this interdisciplinary study is to understand how postsecular negotiations manifest in postcolonial African settings and how they are represented and registered in fiction. Through this focus, the book demonstrates how African and African-diasporic authors radically disrupt the epistemological and ontological modalities of globalized literary production, often characterized as secular, and imagine alternatives which incorporate religious discourse into a postsecular world"--Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages [144]-154) and index. 650 0 $a African fiction (English) $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Postsecularism in literature. 650 0 $a Postcolonialism in literature. 650 7 $a African fiction (English) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799780 650 7 $a Postcolonialism in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01073035 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a Literary criticism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01986215 655 7 $a Literary criticism. $2 lcgft 776 08 $i Online version: $a Cumpsty, Rebekah. $t Postsecular poetics $d New York, NY : Routledge, 2022 $z 9781003276081 $w (DLC) 2022007420 830 0 $a Routledge research in postcolonial literatures. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117023309.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A5EF365438A911ED914067003BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
