Due to the large-scale global transformations of the 20th century,
migration literature has become a vibrant genre over the last
decades. In these novels, issues of transcultural identity and
belonging naturally feature prominently. This study takes a closer
look at the ways in which the idea of family informs processes of
identity construction. It explores changing roles and meanings of
the diasporic family as well as intergenerational family relations
in a migration setting in order to identify the specific
challenges, problems, and possibilities that arise in this context.
This book builds on insights from different fields of family
research (e.g. sociology, psychology, communication studies, memory
studies) to provide a conceptual framework for the investigation of
synchronic and diachronic family constellations and connections.
The approach developed in this study not only sheds new light on
contemporary British migration literature but can also prove
fruitful for analyses of families in literature more generally. By
highlighting the relevance and multifaceted nature of doing family,
this study also offers new perspectives for transcultural memory
studies.
