Reihe: Passages - Transitions - Intersections

This edited volume explores diverse literary representations of nationalism and its inter-, trans-, and antinational forms across multiple geographies, from Russia and Ukraine to North America, the Caribbean, Israel, Palestine, and Spain. Covering the nineteenth century to the present, the book explores the complexities of the nation and its transformative potential in literary studies. Contributors examine nationalisms in fiction, autobiography, poetry, and theater, addressing global capitalist exploitation, colonialism, racism, sexism, xenophobia, and white supremacy. The collection includes counter-hegemonic narratives from marginalized perspectives, highlighting Black American transnationalism, Palestinian literary criticism, Romani poetry, and alternative Caribbean notions of belonging.
