"The Global South Atlantic is a critically important contribution to current debates and discussions toward remapping the cultural and political geographies of global literary and media production. Specifically, one could mention the changed and changing valences of terms like 'Third World,' the waning disciplinary and curricular influence of 'postcolonial,' and the disputations around questions of globalization, the undecidabilty of the parameters of the 'global South' and the continuing impact of Paul Gilroy's idea of the 'black Atlantic.' ... The argument that underwrites the project of the 'global South Atlantic' is at once incisive in its recapitulation of recent intellectual history and even prescient in its anticipation of new directions in area/cultural/regional/international studies across myriad disciplines of the humanities and social sciences." -- -Barbara Harlow University of Texas at Austin
