Prompted by centuries of warfare, political oppression, natural
disasters, and economic collapses, exile has had an enormous impact
not only on individuals who have undergone transplantation from one
culture to another but also on the host societies they have joined
and those worlds they have left behind. Written by prominent
literary critics, creative authors, and artists, the essays
gathered within Exile in Global Literature and Culture: Homes Found
and Lost meditate upon the painful journeys-geographic, spiritual,
emotional, psychological-brought about due to exilic rupture, loss,
and dislocation. Yet exile also fosters potential pleasures and
rewards: to extend scholar Martin Tucker's formulation, wherever
the exile might land in flight, he bears with him the sweetness of
survival, the triumph of transcendence, the luxury of liminality,
and the invitation to innovate and invent in new lands. Indeed,
exile embodies both blessing and curse, homes found and lost.
Furthermore, this book adheres to (and tests) the premise that
exile's deepest and innermost currents are manifested through
writing and other artistic forms.
