"Migrating Minds offers a powerful new set of approaches to the cultures and experiences of cosmopolitanism. Its illuminating essays make it a major contribution to this important field." John Frow, Professor of English; ARC Professorial Fellow, University of Sydney, Australia "This book takes up the significant and urgent task of reimagining the categories used in literary studies by emphasising the ‘event’ character of literature over the limitations of place and substance. Its strength and importance lie in demonstrating that dynamic and plural categories are necessary to reach across difference and enter the literary cosmopolis." Ipshita Chanda, Professor of Comparative Literature, English and Foreign Languages University, Hyderabad, India.
