Produktbeschreibung
Examines European Union's neocolonial sovereignty in cultural narratives of migration Uncommon Alliances takes a critical stance toward both assimilationist and multicultural imaginings of community in the European Union that occlude neocolonial relations of dependence and exclusion. Bringing into conversation postcolonial and postcommunist migration narratives from Africa, Asia and Eastern Europe, it aims to capture the emergent shift from national to postnational European space. Through its examination of cultural texts, including works by Jamal Mahjoub, Mike Phillips, Laila Lalami, Mahi Binebine, Dubravka Ugresic and others, this book traces European Union neocolonial practices in relation to European history, borders and guiding ideals of community, which exclude various 'others' from their symbolic imaginary. The book deliberately moves the discussion away from social-scientific approaches to the humanities and offers a fresh intellectual framework for understanding multicultural identity in Europe. Natasa Kovačevic is Professor of postcolonial and global literature at Eastern Michigan University. Cover image: 57.
