Abstract:

A discussion of new directions in postcolonial studies mainly with reference to essays in the co-edited volume, Rerouting the Postcolonial ed. Janet Wilson, Sarah Lawson Welsh and Cristine Sandru (Routledge, 2010), which covers terror and the postcolonial (with reference to The Reluctant Fudnamentalist by Mohsin Hamid), the Arab Spring, the turn to the utopian, and global imaginaries.
