Cosmopolitan Prejudice
Paulo Lemos Horta provides a novel perspective of cosmopolitanism in the service of empire through the works of the famous Richard Francis Burton, self-described “cosmopolite” and Kwame Anthony Appiah’s prime example of his cosmopolitan imperative to be open to cultural difference.

Taste, Without Distinction
The phenomenon of the unprecedented sales success of Latin American and South Asian authors from García Márquez and Allende to Rushdie and Roy has had a disproportionate impact on models of the circulation of the literatures from the periphery in core markets. Yet what if these models err in extrapolating from the Latin American and South Asian booms the assumption of a single world market, perhaps even a single international literary field? This…

Cosmopolitan Bias
Taking as its point of departure Rushdie’s use of Burton’s Nights and South Asian travelogues in Shame and The Satanic Verses , this paper reads Burton and Rushdie against their cultural moments and their variant understandings of cosmopolitanism. Contra Appiah’s deployment of Burton in his seminal study of cosmopolitanism, it suggests that Burton’s prejudices were not as Appiah ventures “counter-cosmopolitan” but (because they were often acquire…
