Through a wide variety of ethnic experiences ranging from the Transatlantic, Asian American, Latino/a and Caribbean alongside their corresponding forms of displacement - political exile, war trauma, and economic migration - the essays in this collection connect the intimate experience of the returning subject to multiple locations, historical experiences, inter-subjective relations, and cultural interactions. They challenge the idea of the narrative of return as a journey back to the untouched roots and home that the ethnic subject left behind. Their diacritical approach combines, on the one hand, a sensitivity to the context and structural elements of modern diaspora; and on the other, an analysis of the individual psychological processes inherent to the experience of displacement and return such as nostalgia, memory and belonging. In the narratives of return analyzed in this volume, space and identity are never static or easily definable; rather, they are in-process and subject to change as they are always entangled in the historical and inter-subjective relations ensuing from displacement and mobility. This book will interest students and scholars who wish to further explore the role of American literature within current debates on globalization, migration, and ethnicity"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a American literature $x Theory, etc. $x Theory, etc. 650 0 $a Identity (Psychology) in literature. 650 0 $a Return in literature. 650 0 $a American literature $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Displacement (Psychology) in literature. 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM / American / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Ethnic Studies / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Identity. $2 idszbzes 650 7 $a Return in literature. $2 idszbzes 650 7 $a American literature $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. $2 idszbzes 650 7 $a Minderheit. $0 (DE-588)4752223-9 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Literatur. $0 (DE-588)4035964-5 $2 gnd 651 7 $a USA. $0 (DE-588)4078704-7 $2 gnd 700 1 $a Oliver-Rotger, Maria AntoÌnia, $e editor. 830 0 $a Routledge transnational perspectives on American literature ; $v 23. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171226044640.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9E45F0D6AB7211E4A1AC46C0DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
