Exploring the interconnectedness of empires and literary cultures, the book delves into how inter-imperial competition has shaped gendered and racialized labor systems. By blending feminist, decolonial, and dialectical theories, it highlights literature's role in both reinforcing and contesting power dynamics. Analyzing works from A Thousand and One Nights to contemporary Caribbean fiction, the author argues for the significance of imaginative literature in understanding historical processes and its potential as a transformative resource for society's future.
