Please join us on Wednesday, Nov. 9, at 3:00 pm in Falvey Memorial Library's first floor lounge as Silvia Nagy-Zekmi, PhD, department of Romance Languages and Literatures, talks about her newly published book, Perennial Empire: Postcolonial, Transnational, and Literary Perspectives, which is co-edited by Chantal Zabus. The book presents new scholarship on the subject of empire building from a postcolonial and transnational perspective, using literary texts and cultural practices to focus on the exchange of ideologies and the intricacies of nation building, state-power, democracy, and anti-democracy, up to the recent "war on Terror."
