"I started reading the Cross/Cultures series in my PhD days and have never stopped. Some of postcolonial studies’ most talented established and emerging scholars have published their research here. The series has also staged some of the liveliest intellectual debates in the field. Long may its work continue!"

- Claire Chambers, University of York



"Active since 1990, Cross/Cultures is a cutting-edge book series covering the whole range of the colonial and post-colonial experience across the English-speaking world as well as the literatures and cultures of non-anglophone countries. The series accommodates both studies by single authors and edited critical collections.”

- Bénédicte Ledent, Université de Liège and Delphine Munos, Université de Liège


"Marking the rapid expansion of colonial and postcolonial studies over the past three decades, Cross/Cultures has the reputation for high quality research into the dynamics of anglophone cultural production world-wide. With its outstanding publication record, this vibrant series is indispensable for all scholars working in the field."
- Janet M. Wilson, University of Northampton

An important task for scholars of cultural studies and the humanities, as well as for artistic creators, is to refigure the frames and concepts by which the world as we know it is kept in place. Without these acts of refiguration, the future could only ever be more of the (violent) same. In close dialogue with literary and cinematic works and practices, the essays of this volume help refigure and rethink such pressing contemporary issues as migration, inequality, racism, post-coloniality, political violence and human-animal relations. A range of fresh perspectives are introduced, amounting to a call for intellectuals to remain critically engaged with the social and planetary.
