CLCS Global Anglophone on MLA Commons 1 year ago
W. G. Sebald and Patrick Modiano are two contemporary authors who share similar themes and literary practices.

James Gifford deposited Postcolonial Literature (Syllabus) in the group
CLCS Global Anglophone on MLA Commons 1 year, 6 months ago
Colonialism waned in the 1940s through 60s amidst decolonization movements, yet globalization flourished in often unnoticed, hegemonic pathways.

Nicholas T Rinehart deposited Richard Wright’s Globalism in the group
CLCS Global Anglophone on MLA Commons 1 year, 9 months ago
This essay takes a long view of Wright’s work, arguing that his racial consciousness always extended beyond national boundaries and was forged from a globalist perspective.
