The prominent scholars assembled here come together to articulate community while thinking seriously about the tropes, myths, narratives, metaphors, conceits, and shared cultural texts on which any such articulation depends. The result is a major contribution to literary theory, postcolonialism, philosophy, political theory, and sociology UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9780823270941 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9780823270941 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9780823270941/original ER -
