Recovers a comparative literary history of migration This
collection initiates transnational, transcultural and
interdisciplinary conversations about migration in the eighteenth
and nineteenth centuries. Migrants are by definition liminal, and
many have existed historically in the murky spaces between nations,
regions or ethnicities. These essays together traverse the globe,
revealing the experiences -- real or imagined -- of eighteenth- and
nineteenth-century migrants, from dispossessed Native Americans to
soldiers in South America, Turkish refugees to Scottish settlers.
They explore the aesthetic and rhetorical frameworks used to
represent migrant experiences during a time when imperial expansion
and technological developments made the fortunes of some migrants
and made exiles out of others. These frameworks continue to
influence the narratives we tell ourselves about migration today
and were crucial in producing a distinctively modern subjectivity
in which mobility and rootlessness have become normative. Key
Features Offers a comparative framework for understanding the
modern history of migration and the aesthetics of mobility
Foregrounds interdisciplinary debates about belonging, rights, and
citizenship Demonstrates how mobility unsettles the national,
cultural, racialized, and gendered frames we often use to organize
literary and historical study Brings together scholars from the US
and Europe to explore the connections between migrant experiences
and the emergence of modernity Emphasizes the globalism of the
eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries
