Opis

The book offers a sharp analysis of the relationship between transnationalism and patterns of identity negotiation in contemporary fiction of migration. Through an in-depth reading of exemplary works by Anita Desai, Kiran Desai and Jhumpa Lahiri, the book examines the multifarious implications of translocation, de-territorialization and return migration upon displaced individuals. The critical force of the book lies in its comprehensive presentation of transnational processes that recommends it as a rich contribution to the archive of works on transnational migration and the diasporic experience in a global context.
