Opis

The author aims to expand the definition of Turkish American literature beyond fiction written by Americans of Turkish descent to incorporate texts that literally `commute' between two national spheres. Her analyses include literary works of Elif Shafak, Halide Edip, Guneli Gun and Alev Lytle Croutier.
