Edited by Gaurav Desai, John Hawley
Part of the Approaches to Teaching World Literature S. series
Paperback / softback
Description
The prizewinning author of novels, nonfiction, and hybrid texts, Amitav Ghosh grew up in India and trained as an anthropologist.
His works have been translated in over thirty languages.
They cross and mix a number of genres, from science fiction to the historical novel, incorporating ethnohistory and travelogue and even recuperating dead languages.
His subjects include climate change, postcolonial identities, translocation, migration, oceanic spaces, and the human interface with the environment. Part 1 of this volume discusses editions of Ghosh's works and major works of scholarship.
The essays in part 2, ""Approaches,"" present ideas for teaching Ghosh's works through considerations of postcolonial feminism, historicity in the novels, environmentalism, language, sociopolitical conflict, genre, intersectional reading, and the ethics of colonized subjecthood.
Guidance for teaching Ghosh in different contexts, such as general education, world literature, or single-author classes, is provided.
