Journeying to Death... (2003)
Postcolonial Contraventions: Cultural Readings of Race, Imperialism, and Transnationalism provides a sweeping analysis of English imperial literature and black transnationalism through the lenses of Black Atlantic studies, colonial discourse analysis, and postcolonial theory. In the this chapter, Chrisman examines Gilroy's conception of a Black Atlantic culture that is not specifically African, British, American, or Caribbean but all of these at once, indexing a cultural orientation that transcends the boundaries of nationality and ethnicity in ways that had not previously been studied.
