They propose new literary regions defined less by nation and area than by coastlines, river basins, monsoons, currents and hydro-cosmologies. Whether thinking along water courses, below the water line, or through the fall of precipitation, \u003ci\u003eReading for Water\u003c\/i\u003e moves laterally, vertically and contrapuntally between different water-worlds and hydro-imaginaries. Addressing southern African and Caribbean texts, the collection draws on a range of elementally inclined literary approaches: critical oceanic studies, new materialisms, coastal and hydrocritical approaches, hydrocolonialism, black hydropoetics and atmospheric methods.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of \u003ci\u003eInterventions.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51019098194263,"sku":"9781032516318","price":37.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/reading-for-water-9781032516318","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
