The fields of comparative literature and Black Atlantic studies have an Africa problem: despite sustained attempts to decenter Western paradigms, they still privilege the United States and Europe as the primary loci of reference. So argues Cajetan Iheka in Horizontal Comparison, which aims to redirect both fields toward a non-hierarchical, South-South orientation focusing on the links between Africa and the Caribbean. By analyzing the literary work and real-life trajectories of writers such as Peter Abrahams, Chimamanda Adichie, Maryse Condé, Buchi Emecheta, Jamaica Kincaid, Claude McKay, Dinaw Mengestu, Ferdinand Oyono, Taiye Selasi, and Sam Selvon, Iheka draws our attention to the ways in which African and Caribbean texts inform and mutually constitute each other, bypassing the usual comparisons to Western literary canons. The book challenges not only Western cultural hegemony in the study of global Black writing but also the very methodologies of comparative literary studies, offering fresh insights into reading, trauma, character, and the worlding of literature.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #262626;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAutor:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCajetan Iheka\u003cspan style=\"color: #b3b3b3;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #262626;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCaracterísticas técnicas:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #262626;\"\u003eTamaño cerrado 152 x 229 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #262626;\"\u003e328 páginas interiores\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #262626;\"\u003eTapa rústica\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #262626;\"\u003eEncuadernación lomo cuadrado\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #262626;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #262626;\"\u003eEn Webook cuidamos el medio ambiente, imprimimos lo justo y este libro lo haremos especialmente para ti \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bibliomanager","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48701494231177,"sku":"001-0000304844","price":47800.0,"currency_code":"CLP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0688\/5703\/6937\/files\/1570231_IMAGEN_TAPA_G_001.jpg?v=1792179890","url":"https:\/\/webook.cl\/products\/horizontal-comparison","provider":"WeBook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
