Conclusion

Rezensionen

"Children of Globalization provides a refreshing road map for understating the contemporary coming of age genre or bildungsroman from a diasporic global perspective, centralizing the role of race, gender and migration. Putting canonical texts like Austen and Dickens in conversation with Herrera and Thomas frames self-determination as a product of various colonialisms that span the globe."
