This book explores the Indian Ocean world as it is produced by colonial and postcolonial
fiction in English. It analyses the work of three contemporary authors who write the
Indian Ocean as a region and worldAmitav Ghosh, Abdulrazak Gurnah, and Lindsey Collenalongside
maritime-imperial precursor Joseph Conrad. If postcolonial literatures are sometimes
read as national allegories, this book presents an account of a different and significant
strand of postcolonial fiction whose geography, in contrast, is coastal and transoceanic.
This work imaginatively links east Africa, south Asia and the Arab world via a network
of south-south connections that precedes and survives European imperialism. The novels
and stories provide a vivid, storied sense of place on both a local and an oceanic
scale, and in so doing remap the world as having its centre in the ocean and the south.
Charne Lavery is a Lecturer in the Department of English at the University of Pretoria
and Research Fellow on the Oceanic Humanities for the Global South project based at
WISER, University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa
