Summary:
" ... looks forward within the field of postcolonial studies and goes beyond the notion of hybridity and postcolonial reason beyond just portraying it. This volume offers a futuristic vision going beyond the common paradigms of postcolonility, diaspora, and globalization, speculating a framework beyond master-slave dialectic. This new paradigm locates a humanitarian space purifying ego through various forms: writing, philosophizing, and theorizing new ideas. Authors focus on writers from Mauritius to India."--Back cover.
