"This is a work of comparative literary study that examines the influence of Great Britain's informal empire in Latin America that followed Spain's relinquishment of its New World formal empire. The author finds effects of informal empire (involving maritime trade and markets primarily) in the literary forms of novels, poems, and letters. Britain's informal empire in Latin America lasted from the early nineteenth century until the 1920s"--

How did the emigration of nineteenth-century Britons to colonies of settlement shape Victorian literature? Philip Steer uncovers productive networks of writers and texts spanning Britain, Australia, and New Zealand to argue that the novel and political economy found common colonial ground over questions of British identity. Each chapter highlights the conceptual challenges to the nature of 'Britishness' posed by colonial events, from the gold rushes to invasion scares, and traces the literary aftershocks in familiar genres such as the bildungsroman and the utopia. Alongside lesser-known colonial writers such as Catherine Spence and Julius Vogel, British novelists from Dickens to Trollope are also put in a new light by this fresh approach that places Victorian studies in a colonial perspective. Bringing together literary formalism and British World history, Settler Colonialism in Victorian Literature describes how what it meant to be 'British' was re-imagined in an increasingly globalized world.

The geopolitics of empire had already prepared me for this…coloniality constructs outsides and insides—worlds to be chosen, disturbed, interpreted, and navigated—in order to live something like a real self.Internationally acclaimed poet and novelist Dionne Brand reflects on her early reading of colonial literature and how it makes Black being inanimate. She explores her encounters with colonial, imperialist, and racist tropes; the ways that practices of reading and writing are shaped by those narrative structures; and the challenges of writing a narrative of Black life that attends to its own expression and its own consciousness.

Este libro se dedica a la investigación de los lazos culturales, intelectuales y literarios entre América Latina, el Norte de África y España desde los estudios culturales, la crítica literaria y la historiografía global. Enfoca la circulación de imaginarios y discursos (anti-)coloniales desde la era del imperialismo del siglo XIX hasta la actualidad. En tres apartados, ofrece una mirada caleidoscópica, cruzando las perspectivas en un prisma triangular:1. A partir de textos españoles coloniales, se analizan las interferencias de los imaginarios imperiales sobre América Latina y el Norte de África, de los mitos sobre los triunfos y desastres coloniales. Se hacen visibles las transferencias de prácticas e idearios entre los escenarios de las seguidas guerras coloniales en Cuba y Marruecos. 2. A partir de textos latinoamericanos sobre el Norte de África se enfocan refracciones de los discursos orientalistas y proyecciones de solidaridad en referencia a un pasado/presente colonial común. 3. Como tercer espejo del caleidoscopio se analizan textos literarios norafricanos, en parte escritos en español, lengua que cobra significado como herencia común del pasado colonial y como reflejo de nuevas realidades de migración y geografías de pertenencia.
