  The Postcolonial Bildungsroman

  Narratives of Youth, Representational Politics, and Aesthetic Reinventions

  Arnab Dutta Roy (Editor), Paul Ugor (Editor)

  With a fresh comparative lens, the diverse essays in this volume demonstrate how postcolonial writers in Asia, Europe, Africa, the Americas, Australia, and New Zealand have transformed the Bildungsroman from an 18th-century European genre into one of the most cosmopolitan literary mediums for communicating concerns about global modernity – concerns around identity, sexuality, human rights, the climate crisis, neo-liberal globalization, and more.

  Abortion under Complete Decriminalization
