商品簡介
Scholars of literature and culture show how migrant aesthetics, language, and imagination in art forms can offer insights into the state of postcolonial studies, particularly about the interactions between hybridity and cosmopolitanism. They consider such topics as Aime Cesaire's hemispheric gambit and the editorial blind spot, politics and belonging in the music of Turkish-French rapper C-it, Aleksandar Hemon's The Lazarus Project, the hullabaloo about hybridity in Kiran Desai's The Inheritance of Loss, and kinship and intimacy among Japanese immigrants in America.
