Description

The Common Growl: Toward a Poetics of Precarious Community by Thomas Claviez A major contribution to literary theory and postcolonialism, this collection brings together prominent scholars to rethink community in the face of diversity and difference. They examine the tropes, myths, narratives, metaphors, conceits, and shared cultural texts that underpin our understanding of community. The result is a nuanced exploration of the complex relationships between language, culture, and power. By thinking seriously about the ways in which we think about community, these scholars aim to articulate a new understanding of what it means to be part of a collective. This book offers a thought-provoking analysis of the nature of community and its relationship to identity, culture, and society.
