The Postcolonial Subject in Transit presents in-depth analyses of
the complex transitional migratory identities evident in emerging
African diasporic writings. It provides insights into the hybridity
of the migrant experience, where the migrant struggles to negotiate
new cultural spaces. It shows that while some migrants successfully
adapt and integrate into new Western locales, others exist at the
margins unable to fully negotiate cultural difference. The diaspora
becomes a space for opportunities and economic mobility, as well as
alienation and uncertainties. This illuminates the heterogeneity of
the African diasporic narrative; expanding the dialogue of the
diaspora, from one of simply loss and melancholia to
self-realization and empowerment.
