Now in its sixth decade, Literature, Critique, and Empire Today (formerly the Journal of Commonwealth Literature) is an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal. Internationally recognized as the leading critical and bibliographic forum in the field of postcolonial literatures, the journal publishes work on the following areas of research: theories and strategies of anticolonial resistance race and racialization postcolonial publishing studies postcolonial geographies Indigenous studies settler colonialisms postcolonial health humanities postcolonial environmental studies comparative postcolonial studies refugee and diaspora studies decolonizing methodologies neoliberalism in the Global South postcolonial genre and popular fictions languages and translation the field’s intersections with gender, sexuality, religion, class, and caste The journal is committed to publishing scholarship on literatures written in non-European languages in postcolonial contexts. While the journal’s key focus is on literary studies, broadly understood - poetry, life writing, short fiction, creative non-fiction, drama, and the novel - we also publish critical work on film, performance, and other visual media. We welcome proposals for special issues or symposia on any of the above. We also publish scholarly interviews with key figures in the field. As the fourth issue of each year is a comprehensive bibliography of publications in the field, the journal does not publish book reviews. All peer review is double anonymized and submissions are always reviewed by two referees.
