Publisher's Synopsis
Transcultural Anglophone Studies (TAS) engages with the cultural production of speakers of World English in any part of the former British Empire, and the migrational diasporas resulting thereof. Anglophone texts - in print or other media - have had a tremendous impact despite their relatively 'belated' entry to the cultural field. Since TAS forms a vast, heteronomous research area, this Introduction is a first guide for students and researchers. In providing analytical tools for engaging with these exceptional texts, it situates them in the larger context of globalization and neocolonialism. Martina Ghosh-Schellhorn is Professor for Transcultural Anglophone Studies and anglophone Cultures at the University of the Saarland/Germany. She is the initiator of TAS, specializes in life narratives, memorialization and museum studies, and revisionist historiography.
