    What would world literature look like, if we stopped referring to the West? Starting with the provocative premise that the West' is ten percent of the planet, World Literature Decentered is the first book to decenter Eurocentric discourses of global literature and global history - not just by deconstructing or historicizing them, but by actively providing an alternative.
