Heroism as a Global Phenomenon in Contemporary Culture by Barbara Korte

The case studies in this volume explore how processes of cultural translation and adaptation shape contemporary notions of the heroic across the globe. The book provides fresh perspectives on heroism studies and offers a new angle for global and postcolonial studies.
