Postcolonial Literature in the New Millennium: Philosophy, Politics, and Aesthetics features 16 essays written by scholars who explore the multivalent offshoot of postcolonial literature in the first quarter of the 21st century. The texts and contexts taken up in different essays engage with the contemporary realities of countries and regions that were once a part of the Commonwealth and have now evolved as independent national, political, and cultural entities while resisting colonialism and reconstructing new identities at the same time. If deliberations on nation, home, displacement, and migration represent the consciousness of communities inflicted with a sense of loss and trauma, the advent of health humanities, graphic novels, cinema, and digital humanities intersect with the advancement on the wave of modernity. Since the progress of such societies is concomitant with the rise of discourses from the margin, there are essays on the subtle nuances of Dalit, gender, and tribal identities. Environmental crises along with pandemics, an inevitable outcome of the technology-driven progress, and their impact on indigenous communities have been the core concern of some essayists, while a few have speculated about eco-futurism and post-humanism. This anthology of critical writings with its kaleidoscopic range encompassing recent scholarships will be quite handy for academicians and researchers interested in this area.
