- Postmodern Literature and Race is the first book to consider postmodern writing within the context of representations of race. It includes a critical introduction co-written by Upstone which outlines the centrality of race to our reading of postmodern texts. The collection also includes an original chapter by Upstone ('“Some kind of black”: black British historiographic metafictions and the postmodern politics of race’) which applies this framework to the relationship between race and history in postmodern writing, via new research into the work of a range of black British writers. With her co-editor, Upstone was responsible for the commissioning of essays, formulating the collection’s over-arching framing, and the editing of the contributions.
