Summary

Literature for Social Change is a collective volume that arises from a shared scholarly concern: the pressing need to reconsider the role of literature within contexts shaped by structural inequality, sociopolitical unrest, and contested narratives of memory and representation. Against a critical tradition that has frequently sought to delimit the aesthetic from the political, this book is premised on the understanding that all writing constitutes a mode of intervention in the world, and that literary texts —as symbolic, affective, and material practices— participate actively in the ways we imagine, inhabit, and transform the social realm.
