They propose new literary regions defined less by nation and area than by coastlines, river basins, monsoons, currents and hydro-cosmologies.

Addressing southern African and Caribbean texts, the collection draws on a range of elementally inclined literary approaches: critical oceanic studies, new materialisms, coastal and hydrocritical approaches, hydrocolonialism, black hydropoetics and atmospheric methods.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of \u003ci\u003eInterventions.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45242663272599,"sku":"9781032516295","price":13149.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781032516295.webp?v=1769232750","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/reading-for-water-materiality-and-method-9781032516295","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
