Inspired by the international conference 'Landscapes of Exile: Once
Perilous, Now Safe' held in Australia in 2006, this book examines
the experience and nature of exile - one of the most powerful and
recurrent themes of the human condition. In response to the central
question posed of how the experience of exile has impacted on
society and culture, this book offers a rich collection of essays.
Through a kaleidoscope of views on the metaphorical, spatial,
imaginative, reflective and experiential nature of exile, it
investigates a diverse range of landscapes of belonging and
exclusion - social, cultural, legal, poetic, literary, indigenous,
political - that confront humanity. At the very heart of landscapes
of exile is the irony of history, and therefore of identity and
home. Who is now safe and who is not? What was perilous? Who now is
in peril? What does it mean to belong? This book provides key
examinations of these questions.
