Journal Description

The Global South focuses on how world literatures and cultures respond to globalization, particularly how authors, writers, and critics respond to issues of the environment, poverty, immigration, gender, race, hybridity, cultural formation and transformation, colonialism and postcolonialism, modernity and postmodernity, transatlantic encounters, homes, and diasporas and resistance and counter discourse, among others. Its premise is that the various Souths—from the North American South to the European South, Latin and Central America, Africa, Asia, and Australia—share comparable experiences that differentiate them from mainstream and hegemonic cultures in their locations.   Since many of these Souths share not necessarily a common wealth, but various issues of marginalization and inadequate access to means of production and amenities under globalization, TGS is concerned with the intersections among their experiences.
