"…Tracking Capital offers a vital complement to world literary study, particularly at a moment of planetary and academic crisis." — ISLE: Interdisciplinary Studies in Literature and Environment"An impressive and important contribution to ongoing, heated debates about 'World Literature.' In bringing together and freshly illustrating world-systems, world-ecology, and world-culture approaches, the volume serves as a handy introduction to these methods, while offering the experienced reader much to reckon with." — Crystal Bartolovich, coauthor (with Jane Hillman and Jean E. Howard) of Marx and Freud, Great Shakespeareans: Volume X
