Descrizione dell’editore
Summary JanMohamed (1992), in his work on the postcolonial literature of migrants, argues that their "positionality [as] specular border intellectuals" is not merely the combination of initial dislocation, together with a Western education that rules out the possibility of "gregarious acceptance" of any new home culture, but that "homelessness cannot be achieved without multiple border crossings or without a constant, keen awareness of the politics of borders" (1992:112).
