Böcker i Portuguese Literary and Cultural Studies-serien

Focuses on the visual, material, and sonic cultures of Lusophone Africa from the pre colonial period to the contemporary moment, and seeks to complicate current understandings of Lusophone Africa that are based on colonial and postindependence national borders.

Takes a transnational approach to contemporary Luso-American literatures and cultures from across the United States, Canada and the Caribbean, incorporating perspectives from both within and beyond the current set of canonical reference points.

The theme of the seas has long been a central topic in scholarship on the Lusophone world, but more recent research has invested ocean crossings with new relevance and urgency. This book brings together a diversity of approaches, paying attention to sea mobilities, what they entailed and how they were practiced.
