The book attempts to develop a production-reception model of criticism that seeks to establish connections between creativity and culture with attention to South Asian and West African literatures in English. The book also examines the key Asian and Western concepts of art and its experience, and emphasizes the central role of the arts in inventing culture and enriching human life.

Amanuddin Creativity Criticism Reception Theory Third Toward World
«A noteworthy project...» (Modern Fiction Studies)
«Along the way Amanuddin presents a good deal of information about concepts of classical Asian esthetics as a way of showing the continuity between contemporary Asian writers and the classics. All this is useful and may help us move beyond not just »Eurocentrism« but also the restricted and impoverished opposite of »Eurocentrism« now being passed off as Third World literature.» (Reed Way Dasenbrock, World Literature Today)
