Opis

Examines the impact of colonialism and postcolonial migration on the politics and identity of Euro-American imperial powers. This book considers how outsiders are part of the construction of the native identity of the nation-state, and also how they challenge its coherence when they return to the centre in our increasingly globalized world.
