It is divided into four sections, each of them dealing with a different approach to the question of the «Black Atlantic». «Definitions» touches on the various limitations of Gilroy’s original concept. «Readings» focuses on how the «Black Atlantic» can be productively used in readings of certain literary texts. «Practices» shifts towards the practical applications of the concept in order to explore the impact it has had on academic disciplines and examine to what extent it may have altered their epistemology and working procedures. Finally, «Dialogues» engages with the «Black Atlantic» from the perspectives of two creative writers whose work includes transatlantic themes and characters.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: CHItem Height: 225mmItem Length: 150mmItem Weight: 440gContributor: Bénédicte Ledent (Edited by), Pilar Cuder-Domínguez (Edited by)Genre: Children's Learning & EducationTopic: Society & Culture, Literary CriticismAuthor: Bénédicte LedentType: TextbookRelease Year: 2012 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
