Abstract
In this commentary, I chart the future trajectories of postcolonial literary geography that would enable it to become an inquiry of literary and geographical knowledge of 21st century globalization replete with neo-imperial agendas and controls. In this context, I focus on three overlapping moments in critical thought – the spatial turn, affective turn, and environmental turn – that can revitalize postcolonial literary geography to analyze and contest contemporary crises in place-making and its reflection in literature.
