Constructing Black Consciousness in Postcolonial Literature
The book critically investigates how postcolonial African literature engages with the ideology and aesthetics of Black Consciousness. Anchored in the apartheid aftermath, the book explores how Magona's *Mother to Mother* reconstructs identity, revives suppressed histories, and provokes political awareness. Drawing from Steve Biko's vision, the research analyzes Black Consciousness as both a political tool and literary technique. The novel's first-person maternal narrative offers a deeply personal account of Amy Biehl's 1993 killing, rehumanizing both victim and perpetrator, while exposing generational trauma and institutionalized violence. The study highlights Magona's decolonial storytelling, rooted in indigenous knowledge, affective memory, and oral tradition. By portraying mothering as a metaphor for cultural survival and national healing, the book positions the novel as a transformative postcolonial text that confronts historical injustice and envisions paths toward empathy, dignity, and liberation.

VP Shells and Argument Structure in Lubukusu
This monograph is about the application of Chomsky's (1995) Minimalism program together with the VP Shell Hypothesis on Lubukusu verbs. The point is Lubukusu verbal arguments are morphologically initiated hence posing a challenge of fitting in the limited positions available in the VP Shell structure proposed by Larson (1988). From the outset of data analysis, it is found out that the VP Shell Structure proves futile to Lubukusu predicates thereby forcing the study to come up with an alternative solution. The study proposes the application of the verbal feature theory instead of the VP Shell theory since Lubukusu (Bantu) predicates yield morphological arguments in form of the numerous verbal extensions that require their own head positions in the structure. In the end, it is concluded that the light verb in the VP Shell Hypothesis is replaced with a verbal feature/ voice in Lubukusu.

The Experience of Translation
Campbell, Vidal and their contributors expand the notion of translation beyond linguistic, modal and medial borders to embrace posthumanist perspectives through a holistic experiential epistemology which envisions translation as engaged, situated social practice.The first of two volumes, this book focuses on questions of materiality and play. Drawing together contributions on theory, methodology and practice from translators, scholars and practitioners working in the creative and performing arts, this book explores how contemporary, experiential acts of interpretation, mediation and negotiation can serve to bridge social and cultural discontinuities across time and space. These range from ancestral past to digital present, from rural to urban environments across the globe. Experiential translation applies a transdisciplinary lens to problematize views of translation and untranslatability traditionally bound by structuralist frames of reference and the reserve of professional linguistic translation. The chapters in this book apply this experiential lens to understand a pluriverse of creative translation practices where the translator's subject position in relation to the 'original' is transformed by the role of experimentation, creativity and play.This book and its companion volume The Translation of Experience: Cultural Artefacts in Experiential Translation will be of particular interest to translators and arts practitioners, scholars and researchers in the transdisciplinary field of humanities.The Open Access version of this book, available at http: //www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.Funding: This work was supported by UKRI under AHRC Grant AH/V008234/1, awarded to Ricarda Vidal, King's College London (Principal Investigator) and Madeleine Campbell, University of Edinburgh (Co-Investigator).

The Curse in the Territory
This study re-evaluates Manuel Mar穩a Madiedo's La maldici籀n (1859) beyond its traditional classification as costumbrista literature. Drawing on narratology, historical geography, and neobaroque aesthetics, the book explores how the novel engages with the cultural, racial, and territorial tensions of 19th-century Colombia. It situates the figure of the arrochelado and the region's libres de todos los colores at the heart of the national narrative, revealing submerged histories and alternative forms of habitation along the Magdalena River. Through narrative ambiguity, irony, and symbolic landscapes, Madiedo's work critiques liberal ideals and enacts a hybrid literary form that challenges hegemonic representations of space and identity. By uncovering these layers, the research contributes to broader discussions of subaltern agency, literary form, and the cultural construction of Colombian territory.
