It explores how works by Abdulrazak Gurnah, Viet Thanh Nguyen, and Luis Alberto Urrea represent a recalibration of how stories about marginalised migrants in the US and the UK are told - stories about their rights, their suffering, and their relationships to the citizens around them that reject victimhood and embrace just memories. The selected works reject and counter descriptions of the marginalised that are framed in terms of victimhood and passivity. As an alternative, they emphasise the need for just memories and narratives that not only accept personal agency, but also afford their characters opportunities to exercise power and control over their own lives and destinies, no matter how limited these may be. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references ( pages 183 - 197) and index. 505 0 $a Abdulrazak Gurnah -- Viet Thanh Nguyen -- Luis Alberto Urrea -- Comparative analysis. 600 10 $a Gurnah, Abdulrazak, $d 1948- $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 10 $a Nguyen, Viet Thanh, $d 1971- $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 10 $a Urrea, Luis Alberto $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 17 $a Gurnah, Abdulrazak, $d 1948- $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01913962 600 17 $a Urrea, Luis Alberto. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00308545 650 0 $a Minorities $z United States $x Social conditions. 650 0 $a Minorities $z Great Britain $x Social conditions. 650 0 $a Marginality, Social, in literature. 650 0 $a Victims in literature. 650 0 $a Immigrants in literature. 650 0 $a Transnationalism in literature. 650 0 $a Agent (Philosophy) in literature. 650 7 $a Agent (Philosophy) in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00800206 650 7 $a Immigrants in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00967800 650 7 $a Marginality, Social, in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01009175 650 7 $a Transnationalism in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01904970 650 7 $a Victims in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01166284 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a Literary criticism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01986215 655 7 $a Literary criticism. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Critiques litteÌraires. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000001939 776 08 $i Online version: $a Bosman, Sean James. $t Rejection of victimhood in literature : $d Leiden ; Boston : Brill, [2021] $z 9789004469006 $w (DLC) 2021026833 830 0 $a Text (Rodopi (Firm)) ; $v 96. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117031226.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=409C13F6072811ED93C2E7E557ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
