| Abstract |
"Postcolonial Disaster creates a narratology for postcolonial disaster fiction; through a rigorous engagement with disaster studies, the book also interjects the humanities, as well as humanistic inquiry, in a well-established discipline anchored mostly to the social sciences. The book will be of interest to scholars, teachers, graduate and undergraduate students in the humanities and in the allied social sciences such as anthropology, geography, and political science"-- Provided by publisher. |
