Empathy and Ethics of Border-Crossing in World Literature intervenes in the current scholarship on narrative empathy in two specific ways: first, by contesting the mainstream position that empathy is exclusively colonial or ethnocentric, our collection asserts that empathy can play a positive role in shaping anticolonial resistance, global south solidarities, and collective efforts against oppression; second, by offering visibility to narrative strategies and aesthetic modes of empathy practiced globally by creative writers to ethically rethink otherness and alterity in literature.
