Postcolonial Literary Geographies
This book examines how ideas about place and space have been transformed in recent decades. It offers a unique understanding of the ways in which postcolonial writers have contested views of place as
Postcolonial Literary Geographies
‘Lucent Syrops, Tinct with Cinnamon’
Across the centuries the trope of ‘spice’ has been inextricably linked with colonial constructions of place. It has had a varied discursive history, but in the West it has characteristically been associated with the exoticization of ‘other’ places, playing a particularly prominent role in the way Asia has been imagined. In Europe, from the Middle Ages onwards, ‘spice’ was used to refer to luxury food items that supplemented or enhanced staples. A…
