Commerce with the Universe: Africa, India and the Afrasian Imagination

Gaurav Desai
Book Description

Gaurav Desai’s work in bridging African literary studies and Postcolonial studies is of great interest to me. His innovative theory of an “Afrasian imagination” is an important development in South-South comparative scholarship, and his concept of Oceanic narration offers a model for studies of South Africa and the connections between Atlantic and Indian Ocean studies.
