In the battle between the democratic West and the communist East there was barely a year in which the West was not organising, fighting or financing some foreign war. It was an engagement that resulted – in Korea, Guatemala, Nicaragua and elsewhere – in some twenty million dead. This collection of essays analyses the literary response to the coups, insurgencies and invasions that took place around the globe, and explores the various thematic and stylistic trends that Cold War hostilities engendered in world writing.  \nDrawing together scholars of various cultural backgrounds, the volume focuses upon such themes as representation, nationalism, political resistance, globalisation and ideological scepticism. Eschewing the typical focus in Cold War scholarship on Western authors and genres, there is an emphasis on the literary voices that emerged from what are often considered the‘peripheral’ regions of Cold War geo-politics. Ranging in focus from American postmodernism to Vietnamese poetry, from Cuban autobiography to Maoist theatre, and from African fiction to Soviet propaganda, this book will be of real interest to all those working in twentieth-century literary studies, cultural studies, history and politics.  \nAndrew Hammond is a Senior Lecturer in Twentieth-Century Literature at the Swansea Institute, University of Wales.  \nRoutledge studies in twentieth-century literature  \n1 Testimony from the Nazi Camps  \nFrench women’s voices Margaret-Anne Hutton  \n2 Modern Confessional Writing  \nNew critical essays Edited by Jo Gill  \n3 Cold War Literature  \nWriting the global conflict Edited by Andrew Hammond  \nCold War Literature  \nWriting the global conflict  \nEdited by Andrew Hammond  \nFirst published 2006  \nby Routledge  \n2 Park Square, Milton Park, Abingdon, Oxon OX14 4RN Simultaneously published in the USA and Canada by Routledge  \n270 Madison Ave, New York, NY 10016  \nRoutledge is an imprint of the Taylor & Francis Group  \n© 2006 Andrew Hammond editorial matter and selection; the contributors their contributions  \nThis edition published in the Taylor & Francis e-Library, 2006.  \n“To purchase your own copy of this or any of Taylor & Francis or Routledge’s collection of thousands of eBooks please go [to www.eBookstore.tandf.co.uk](to www.eBookstore.tandf.co.uk).”  \nAll rights reserved.
