Paperback. The "world of letters" has always seemed a matter more of metaphor than of global reality. Rejecting facile talk of globalization, with its suggestion of a happy literary "melting pot," the author exposes a regime of inequality in the world of letters, where minor languages and literatures are subject to the invisible but implacable violence. Translator(s): DeBevoise, M. B. Series: Convergences: Inventories of the Present. Num Pages: 440 pages. BIC Classification: DSB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 236 x 157 x 27.
