Juan-José Martín-González draws upon the intersections between maritime criticism and postcolonial thought to provide, via an analysis of the \u003ci\u003eIbis \u003c\/i\u003etrilogy, alternative insights into nationalism(s), cosmopolitanism and globalization. He shows that the Victorian age in its transoceanic dimension can be read as an era of proto-globalization that facilitates a materialist critique of the inequities of contemporary global neo-liberalism. The book argues that in order to maintain its critical sharpness, postcolonialism must re-direct its focus towards today’s most obvious legacy of nineteenth-century imperialism: capitalist globalization. Tracing the migrating characters who engage in transoceanic crossings through Victorian sea lanes in the \u003ci\u003eIbis\u003c\/i\u003e trilogy, Martín-González explores how these dispossessed collectives made sense of their identities in the Victorian waterworlds and illustrates the political possibilities provided by the sea crossing and its fluid boundaries.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2021-06-24\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783030770556\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-030-77056-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 167\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47695565947020,"sku":"9783030770556","price":71.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783030770556_d2153bde-e0ff-4152-a0fe-3bf9ca9bfcb4.jpg?v=1776776206","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783030770556","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
