Description: What is " Europe" in academic discourse? While Europe tends to be used as shorthand often interchangeable with the " West" neither the " West" nor " Europe" are homogeneous spaces. Though postcolonial studies have long been debunking Eurocentrism in its multiple guises there is still work to do in fully comprehending how its imaginations and discursive legacies conceive the figure of Europe as not all who live on European soil are understood as equally " European". This volume explores this immediate need to rethink the axis of postcolonial cultural productions to disarticulate Eurocentrism to recognise Europe as a more diverse plural and fluid space to draw forward cultural exchanges and dialogues within the Global South. Through analyses of literary texts from East - Central Europe and beyond this volume sheds light on alternative literary cartographies the multiplicity of Europes and being European which exist both as they are viewed from the different geographies of the global South and within the continent itself. Covering a wide spatial and temporal terrain in postcolonial and European cultural productions this volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of literature and literary criticism cultural studies post - colonial studies global South studies and European studies.
