Global Identities in Transit: The Ethics and Politics of
Representation in World Literatures and Cultures explores the
myriad aspects of identity formation and identity representation in
an increasingly globalized world. Covering a variety of cultural
and historical experiences in addition to several texts of world
literatures, the contributors discuss the configurations of
transnationality and transculturality in our postcolonial and
globalized world. Acknowledging that nationality, ethnicity,
gender, and class are continually shaped by historical processes,
the contributors hone in on the ways that the increase in mobility
via migration, diaspora, and exile render identities always in
transit In the face of structural inequalities and social
injustices predominant in this context, the chapters reflect on the
moral obligations of representation. This collection will be of
interest to scholars of cultural studies, postcolonial studies, and
world literature.
Literature with A White Helmet explores issues of refugee writers,
contemporary works of fiction and nonfiction on the refugee's body
and experience, the biopolitics of refugees, and disputes over the
ethicality of representing refugees by writers and human rights
activists. The book relies on a broad selection of texts by authors
who, in one way or another, have experienced displacement,
witnessed it, imagined it, or co-written about it.
