Critical Identities in Contemporary Anglophone Diasporic Literature - Hardcover

by Kenneth A. Loparo (Author)

The figure of the migrant has been celebrated by some as an icon of postmodernity, an emblematic figure in a world increasingly characterized by transnationalism, globalization and mass migrations. Kr?l takes issue with this view of the migrant experience through in-depth analyses of writers including Salman Rushdie, Zadie Smith and Monica Ali.
