Participation in Postcolonial Wor(l)ds: Literatures for, on or against the Global Literary Market offers an innovative systematic definition of postcolonial literary participation. Analyzing the position of postcolonial authors and literatures in the global literary marketplace and how they navigate the field, this volume promotes research at the intersection of postcolonial studies, literary analysis and market studies. It succeeds in establishing 'participation' as a concept that is related to but distinct from complicity, implication and intervention, and whose numerous facets we unearth in critical explorations of the literary market.

Bringing together established and emerging scholars from diverse academic backgrounds, the collection examines participation across different genres, cultures and markets. Contributions bridge a wide range of topics and postcolonial cultures, ranging from speculative fiction to children's literature, exploring contemporary issues including race, gender, queerness, ecocriticism and neurodiversity. This approach positions participation as a fundamentally important analytical category and highlights its previously unrecognized significance in postcolonial scholarship. The volume fosters a multidimensional understanding of literature that encompasses structures of production and marketing. By connecting postcolonial studies with the thriving field of book and market studies, it serves as both an essential introduction for students and a valuable resource for researchers.

Christina Slopek-Hauff holds a postdoc position in the section of British Studies at TU Dortmund University. Her research focuses on postcolonial and British literatures, medical humanities and queer and gender studies. She has published her research with Brill, Anglia, Gender Forum, Postcolonial Text and Storyworlds.

Miriam Hinz is a doctoral student at Heinrich-Heine-University Düsseldorf. Her PhD project is concerned with intersectional cosmopolitanisms in Black British literatures and her research focus and teaching activities concentrate on postcolonial and gender studies with special interest in African, Caribbean and Black British contexts.
