The essays in this volume broaden previous approaches to Atlantic
literature and culture by comparatively studying the politics and
textualities of Southern Europe, North America, and Latin America
across languages, cultures, and periods. Historically grounded
while offering new theoretical approaches, the volume encourages
debate on whether the critical lens of imperialism often invoked
to explain transatlantic studies may be challenged by the
diagonal translinguistic relationships that comprise what the
editors term "the wider Atlantic". The essays explore how
instances of inverse coloniality, global networks of circulation,
and linguistic conceptualizations of nation and identity question
dominant structures of power from the nineteenth century to
today.
