Displacement, Memory, and Travel in Contemporary Migrant Writing

Description:

Displacement, Memory, and Travel in Contemporary Migrant Writing' examines contemporary cultural representations of transforming identities in the era of increasing global mobility. It pays particular attention to the ways in which cultural encounters are experienced affectively and discursively in migrant literature. Divided into three parts that deal with refugee writing and displacement, migration and memory, and new European identities, the volume develops current methodologies and shows how postcolonial studies can be applied to the study of cultural encounters.
