Notes

  • Epigraph:

    If the nation, the novel and psychoanalysis … draw our gaze in two directions at once—inward to their imaginary psychic territories and outward to their global reaches or, on a different axis, backward to their hegemonic histories and forward to their postcolonial afterlives—what can we learn from such double vision? (Cooppan, Worlds xxiii)
