RÉSUMÉ

Huggan aims to establish an alternative trajectory through the field of postcolonial literary/cultural studies that is alert to similar kinds of work being done in and across other disciplines; and reflects on possible futures for postcolonial studies that move beyond current theoretical and methodological orthodoxies, and that re-stake a claim for the centrality of literary studies to the field.
