The Transnational Imaginaries of M. G. Vassanji is a collection of
scholarly articles that engages with, analyzes, and appreciatively
critiques the fiction and nonfiction writing of M. G. Vassanji, a
multiple award-winning author. Vassanji’s works have a sense of
multiple connections across four continents: Asia, Africa, Europe, and
North America. He challenges the imperial centers of Western powers
through the content of his work and his deeply-felt humanist
engagements with the politics of displacement, settlement, partition
and postcolonialism. Ranging across almost his entire oeuvre, the
contributors to this book argue that Vassanji’s work should be read
as one emerging from a transnational space that connects people,
places and issues across the world. Collectively, the chapters in this
book, using a range of theoretical frameworks, claim that Vassanji’s
work both fits into and goes beyond the usual categorizations,
structures and styles of analysis applied to writers from the
colonies.
