'I would like to take a moment here to celebrate the truly international nature of the Journal of Postcolonial Writing. In this issue alone we are proud to publish the work of colleagues from across the globe: Canada, India, Australia, Norway and Portugal as well as the UK. This is a tremendous achievement. Postcolonial studies, rather than being subsumed under broader and seemingly more comprehensive categories such as world, global or transnational literary studies, has instead continued to explore, from a variety of locations and socio-political contexts, the cultural manifestations that come about as a result of power imbalances across the world.' (Anastasia Valassopoulos, Editor's note introduction)
