In fourteen original essays, edited by Richard Begam and Michael Valdez Moses, a\u003cbr\u003edistinguished group of scholars considers these questions in relation to novelists, playwrights, and poets living in English-speaking countries around the world. \u003cem\u003eModernism, Postcolonialism, and Globalism \u003c\/em\u003enot only examines how modernism and postcolonialism evolved over several generations, but also\u003cbr\u003esituates the writers analyzed in terms of canonical realignments inspired by the New Modernist Studies and an array of emerging methodologies and approaches. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhile this volume highlights social and political questions connected with the end of empire, it also considers the aesthetics of postcolonialism, detailing how writers drew upon, responded to and, sometimes reacted against, the formal innovations of modernism. Many of the essays consider the\u003cbr\u003einfluence modernist artists and movements exercised on postcolonial writers, from W. B. Yeats, Joseph Conrad, Franz Kafka, Marcel Proust, James Joyce, T. S. Eliot, and Virginia Woolf to Impressionism, Expressionism, Surrealism, and Abstractionism. \u003cem\u003eModernism, Postcolonialism, and Globalism \u003c\/em\u003eis\u003cbr\u003eorganized around six geographic locales and includes essays on Africa (Chinua Achebe, Ngugi wa Thiong'o, Nadine Gordimer, J.
