Narratives of Precarious Migrancy in the Global South (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Adair, Gigi; McLaughlin, Carly

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This volume sets out to challenge and expand Anglophone literary migration studies in the global North with a two-fold approach. It proposes precarious migrancy as a conceptual framework to capture hitherto neglected aspects of subaltern displacement, and it turns to the global South as a site of knowledge production about migration.
