Description
A vital resource for anyone interested in literature and politics, this is the first in-depth study of epistemic injustice as a concept for literary studies. Focusing on contemporary fiction in an age of post-truth, it shows how novels reveal epistemic injustice as an authoritarian practice and offer an aesthetics of resistance.
