An exciting collection of essays that explore the intellectual and political possibilities that arise as we free ourselves from the modernist grip of both the nation state and disciplinary boundaries. Contributors from across the humanities and social sciences offer diverse and intriguing commentaries on the possibilities of community and fellowship outside and beyond the confines of the nation.
