Acknowledgements

This book began life as a PhD thesis at the University of Leeds, where I had the good fortune to be supervised by John McLeod, who has proven to be a source of endless support and advice, and above all else, a very dear friend.

I am especially grateful to Gail Low, for first introducing me to the works of Caryl Phillips and Fred DAguiar, and to Nik Imoru, for her early enthusiasm about this project. Thanks are also due to Mick Gidley and Graham Huggan, and especial thanks to Shirley Chew, Sam Durrant, Dave Gunning, Caroline Herbert and David Richards, who all helpfully commented on earlier versions of this work.

I am grateful to the editors and publishers for permission to reprint work from the following essays: Words are All I Have Left of My Eyes: Blinded by the Past in J. M. W. Turners Slavers Throwing Overboard the Dead and Dying and David Dabydeens Turner, Journal of Commonwealth Literature, 42(1) (2007): 4758; David Dabydeens A Harlots Progress: Re-presenting the Slave Narrative Genre, Journal of Postcolonial Writing, 43(1) (2007): 3244; and An Outstretched Hand: Connection and Affiliation in Crossing the River, Moving Worlds: A Journal of Transcultural Writings, 7(1) (2007): 2032.

I would also like to thank John Thieme, whose editorial guidance and support have proved invaluable; the team at Manchester University Press, and David Dabydeen, Fred DAguiar and Caryl Phillips for their kind assistance with this project.

Finally, thanks to family and friends for their love and good humour, particularly Kate Clark, whom I cannot thank enough.

Series editors foreword

Contemporary World Writers is an innovative series of authoritative introductions to a range of culturally diverse contemporary writers from outside Britain and the United States or from minority backgrounds within Britain or the United States. In addition to providing comprehensive general introductions, books in the series also argue stimulating original theses, often but not always related to contemporary debates in post-colonial studies.

The series locates individual writers within their specific cultural contexts, while recognising that such contexts are themselves invariably a complex mixture of hybridised influences. It aims to counter tendencies to appropriate the writers discussed into the canon of English or American literature or to regard them as other.

Each volume includes a chronology of the writers life, an introductory section on formative contexts and intertexts, discussion of all the writers major works, a bibliography of primary and secondary works and an index. Issues of racial, national and cultural identity are explored, as are gender and sexuality. Books in the series also examine writers use of genre, particularly ways in which Western genres are adapted or subverted and traditional local forms are reworked in a contemporary context.

Contemporary World Writers aims to bring together the theoretical impulse which currently dominates post-colonial studies and closely argued readings of particular authors works, and by so doing to avoid the danger of appropriating the specifics of particular texts into the hegemony of totalising theories.
