Trade Review
"The value of Murray's collection is the specificity of the research areas it offers, in contrast to the generality and circularity that theory so often assumes. The book successfully contributes to our growing understanding of forms of nationalism and the nation outside of, and explicitly and implicitly challenging, earlier European models." (Wasafiri, Issue no. 27, Spring 1998) "Not On Any Map is a wide-ranging collection of essays by academic and creative writers, exploring the varied cultural legacies of 'post-colonialism'. . . The strength of these essays is the way in which they thrust the reader directly into unfamiliar, localized debates and particular literary scenes. . . The collection is, in fact, an effective mirror of the problem it describes: a celebration of cultural diversity falling subject to theoretical colonization." (Times Literary Supplement, 26 September 1997) "A truly impressive collection of essays from a diverse group of academics." (Colonial and Postcolonial Studies Newsletter, September 1997)
