Poetry, Palestine and posthumanism
Palestinian poets Nathalie Handal and Naomi Shihab Nye deploy nonhuman perspectives to mourn the lost homeland, reflecting on the Nakba (‘the Catastrophe’, the 1948 Palestinian exodus) as a site of environmental and social rupture. Representations of environmental ruptures as means of reflecting on the Nakba are not new to the Palestinian literary tradition. Understanding these ruptures by way of posthumanist appeals is, however, a radical gestur…

This special issue emerged from a 2018 Modern Languages Association (MLA) Convention panel that was curious about the possibilities and limitations of the visual arts when documenting social, political, economic, and ecological violence in postcolonial contexts and people’s resistance to them.

The old radical and the new conservative: Generational incarnations of racial trauma in Jacobson’s “The Zulu and the Zeide”

The Zeide and his son represent two…

The clothing economy of Earl Lovelace’s The Dragon Can’t Dance
This article positions chapter three, “The Dragon”, as the crux of Trinidadian novelist Earl Lovelace’s postcolonial novel, The Dragon Can’t Dance. Chapter three chronicles the ancestral narrative of protagonist and King of Carnival, Aldrick, in and through his carnival costume’s construction, demonstrating that the handicraft tradition of Carnival is central to understanding the sense of loss permeating the novel’s Afro-Trinidadian space. I use …
