Featuring twenty-seven essays written by leading scholars, this anthology argues that literary expressions of magical realism proliferate globally in the twenty-first century due to travel and migrations, the shrinking of time and space, and the growing encroachment of human life on nature. In this global context, magical realism addresses twenty-first-century politics, aesthetics, identity, and social\/national formations where contact between and within cultures has exponentially increased, altering how communities and nations imagine themselves.\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eThis text assembles a group of critics throughout the world—the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Australia—who employ multiple theoretical approaches to examine the different ways magical realism in literature has transitioned to a global practice; thus, signaling a new stage in the history and development of the genre. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRichard Perez\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor of English at John Jay College at the City University of New York, USA.  He is the co-editor of two critical anthologies published by Palgrave Macmillan: \u003ci\u003eContemporary U.S. Latino\/a Criticism \u003c\/i\u003e(2007) and \u003ci\u003eMoments of Magical Realism in U.S. Ethnic Literatures\u003c\/i\u003e (2012).  \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVictoria A.
