Transnational Postcolonial Studies in the Twenty-First Century: Infrastructures, Literatures, Applications concerns itself with developments in the field of Postcolonial Studies in the twenty-first century. With its global reach and its showcasing of contributors who range from Early Career Researchers to Senior Scholars from a range of disciplines, including literature, architecture, digital media, and political ecology, this is an edited collection fully committed to exploring the proliferation of the field. The volume traces the trajectory of Postcolonial Studies through three defining categories - infrastructures, literatures and applications - tracking both the theoretical underpinnings and new intersections invited by cultural products and transnational postcolonial discourse in a global reality characterised by decentralisation, new technologies, and mass migration. This volume thus has implications for various literary, anthropological, pedagogical and political contexts, and speaks to how such research might be performed, as demonstrated through case studies and reflective essays.
