Summary/Abstract: The paper poses a Commonwealth (more generally, a South) challenge to British (or northern institutional) delineations of the postcolonial. It is suggested that globalisation and postcoloniality represent interlocking categories, in which the political supersedes the literary. The argument here, in contrast, pursues a literary turn.
