Across the Oceans, Multi-Disciplinary, Multi-Continental Essays

By Ashwannie Harripersaud and Daizal R Samad

Daizal R. Samad and Ashwannie Harripersaud's Across the Oceans: Multi-disciplinary, Multi-continental Essays is a collection that traverses vast intellectual and geo-cultural territories. Samad's incisive essays, co-authored with Harripersaud, interrogate themes of displacement, identity, and cultural memory from Caribbean, Malaysian, and Canadian perspectives. In almost surgical fashion, the essays dissect postcolonial literature, critique systemic failures in education, and analyze societal issues like bullying. A central, unifying meditation explores how fragmented individuals and societies seek wholeness through literature and memory. Challenging boundaries between genres and disciplines, this volume offers no easy resolutions; rather, it offers a profound, uncomfortable engagement with truth, legacy, and the relentless pursuit of belonging.
