Abstract
Ottmar Ette ushers in what he calls “Trans-area literary studies” by analyzing cultural encounters, conflicts and forms of living together in a large number of contemporary literary texts from North and South America, the Caribbean, Europe and North Africa. Ette highlights the need to overcome nationalist literary studies and reclaim literature as an archive of human experiences, which he sees as indispensable for the sustenance of human life. In spite of its transnational scope, the book’s focus on Latin American and West Indian colonial past, hybrid cultures and modern literatures makes it particularly useful for the fields of Hispanic and Caribbean studies.
