      abstract = {This book examines the idea of the self in Anglophone  literatures from British colonies in Africa and the  subcontinent, and in the context of intercultural  encounter, literary hybridity and globalization. The  project examines texts by eight authors across the  colonial, postwar and post-9/11 eras -- Olaudah Equiano,  Sake Dean Mahomet, Henry Callaway, R.C. Temple, Amos  Tutuola, G.V. Desani, Tsitsi Dangarembga and Aravind Adiga  -- in order to map different strategies of selfhood across  four fields of literature: autobiographical life writing,  folk anthology, postwar fabulism, and contemporary realism.  Drawing on historical analysis, psychological inquiry,  comparative linguistics, postcolonial criticism and social  theory, this book responds to a renewed emphasis on the  narrative strategies and creative choices involved in a  literary construction of the self. Threaded through this  investigation is an analysis of the effects of  globalization, or the intensification of intercultural and  dialogic complexity over time. Inder Sidhu holds a PhD in  English literature from King's College London, UK. He works  with graduate students at the Ontario College of Art &  Design University's Writing and Learning Centre and teaches  at the University of Guelph-Humber and Humber College in  Toronto, Canada.},
