Zusammenfassung: | This book offers a timely intervention in current debates on diaspora and diasporic identity by affirming the importance of narrative as a discursive mode to understand the human face of contemporary migrations and dislocations. Focusing on the Caribbean double-diaspora, Pulitano offers a close-reading of a range of popular works by four well-known writers currently living in the United States: Jamaica Kincaid, Michelle Cliff, Edwidge Danticat, and Caryl Phillips. Navigating the map of fictional characters, testimonial accounts, and autobiographical experiences, Pulitano draws attention to the lived experience of contemporary diasporic formations. The book offers a provocative re-thinking of socio-scientific analyses of diaspora by discussing the embodied experience of contemporary diasporic communities, drawing on disciplines such as Caribbean, Postcolonial, Diaspora, and Indigenous Studies along with theories on "border thinking" and coloniality/modernity. Contesting restrictive, national, and linguistic boundaries when discussing literature originating from the Caribbean, Pulitano situates the transnational location of Caribbean-born writers within current debates of Transnational American Studies and investigates the role of immigrant writers in discourses of race, ethnicity, citizenship, and belonging. Exploring the multifarious intersections between home, exile, migration and displacement, the book makes a significant contribution to memory and trauma studies, human rights debates, and international law, aiming at a wide range of scholars and specialized agents beyond the strictly literary circle. This volume affirms the humanity of personal stories and experiences against the invisibility of immigrant subjects in most theoretical accounts of diaspora and migration |

Focusing on the Caribbean double-diaspora, Pulitano offers a close-reading of a range of popular works by four well-known writers currently living in the United States: Jamaica Kincaid, Michelle Cliff, Edwidge Danticat, and Caryl Phillips. Navigating the map of fictional characters, testimonial accounts, and autobiographical experiences, Pulitano draws attention to the lived experience of contemporary diasporic formations. The book offers a provocative re-thinking of socio-scientific analyses of diaspora by discussing the embodied experience of contemporary diasporic communities, drawing on disciplines such as Caribbean, Postcolonial, Diaspora, and Indigenous Studies along with theories on "border thinking" and coloniality/modernity. Contesting restrictive, national, and linguistic boundaries when discussing literature originating from the Caribbean, Pulitano situates the transnational location of Caribbean-born writers within current debates of Transnational American Studies and investigates the role of immigrant writers in discourses of race, ethnicity, citizenship, and belonging. Exploring the multifarious intersections between home, exile, migration and displacement, the book makes a significant contribution to memory and trauma studies, human rights debates, and international law, aiming at a wide range of scholars and specialized agents beyond the strictly literary circle. This volume affirms the humanity of personal stories and experiences against the invisibility of immigrant subjects in most theoretical accounts of diaspora and migration Cliff, Michelle 1946- (DE-588)119542196 gnd rswk-swf Phillips, Caryl 1958- (DE-588)115708359 gnd rswk-swf Kincaid, Jamaica 1949- (DE-588)11911223X gnd rswk-swf Danticat, Edwidge 1969- (DE-588)121043886 gnd rswk-swf Auswanderung (DE-588)4003920-1 gnd rswk-swf Schriftstellerin (DE-588)4053311-6 gnd rswk-swf Diaspora Sozialwissenschaften, Motiv (DE-588)1190054469 gnd rswk-swf Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 gnd rswk-swf Ethnische Identität (DE-588)4153096-2 gnd rswk-swf Auswanderung Motiv (DE-588)4354313-3 gnd rswk-swf Karibik (DE-588)4073241-1 gnd rswk-swf Kincaid, Jamaica 1949- (DE-588)11911223X p Cliff, Michelle 1946- (DE-588)119542196 p Danticat, Edwidge 1969- (DE-588)121043886 p Phillips, Caryl 1958- (DE-588)115708359 p Auswanderung Motiv (DE-588)4354313-3 s DE-604 Karibik (DE-588)4073241-1 g Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 s Ethnische Identität (DE-588)4153096-2 s Auswanderung (DE-588)4003920-1 s 1\p DE-604 Diaspora Sozialwissenschaften, Motiv (DE-588)1190054469 s 2\p DE-604 Schriftstellerin (DE-588)4053311-6 s 3\p DE-604 Äquivalent Druck-Ausgabe, Hardcover 978-1-138-99877-3 Routledge interdisciplinary perspectives on literature 63 (DE-604)BV039398624 63 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
