Literature with A White Helmet

The Textual-Corporeality of Being, Becoming, and Representing Refugees

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Literature with A White Helmet explores issues of refugee writers, contemporary works of fiction and nonfiction on the refugee's body and experience, the biopolitics of refugees, and disputes over the ethicality of representing refugees by writers and human rights activists. The book relies on a broad selection of texts by authors who, in one way or another, have experienced displacement, witnessed it, imagined it, or co-written about it.
