Abstract:

The purpose of this essay is to make a literary reading of the postcolonial diasporas in Britain, especially in connection with the metaphors used by diasporic writers in the UK in their search for their own identity and belonging. As diaspora is a metaphorical term in the sense we are using it now, three different metaphorical constructions of diaspora will be explored: a) the metaphor of the imaginary homelands created by immigrant writers; b) the metaphor of the Black Atlantic as a sort of space shared by those who are part of the diaspora and what this entails in history and literature; an

<strong>Abstract:</strong>             Generally diasporic literature deals with alienation, displacement, existential rootlessness, nostalgia and quest for identity. It also addresses issues related to disintegration or amalgamation of cultures. Diaspora Theory with its various features has influenced the literature of every language of the world.

Abstract:

Diaspora experiences are accurately portrayed through their representation and expression, which place an emphasis on culture, custom, history, heritage, and other related topics. It's also worth noting that women from the Diaspora have contributed to a wide range of literary genres, from fiction and poetry to memoir and nonfiction. The writers of the Diaspora have established themselves as masters of the genre of fiction. Though excellent poets and short story writers from the Indian diaspora have emerged in recent years.

Diaspora writing is a recent trend in literature. Many writers especially women writers excel in this field. These diasporic writers though they live in a foreign land always hold their love in their writings. India is a land of myth and legends and hence many Indian writers borrow their plot from Hindu mythology which is used as a literary device. Many writers of the independence and post-independence era used mythology to spread nationalism and to guide humanity in the right path.

Abstract:

The focus of this paper, which is in the mainstream of cross-cultural representation, is on the resistance strategies used by Anglophone Arab women immigrant writers. Writings from the Arab diaspora in particular lay the way for challenging the binary opposition between various cultures, genders, races, nationalities, and so forth as well as the culture of exclusion and oppression. This paper argues that Arab women Diaspora writing commit itself seriously to the marginal and the oppressed where authors express their abilities to engage consciously in a political contest and willed protest agai

Abstract:

This research is a study of the history of the development and decline of Mahjar or Diaspora Arabic literature in Australia. Countries in Europe and America have become countries where Arabs have immigrated after World War II. Mahjar Arabic literature is the result of acculturation between two cultures (East-West) and even multicultural acculturation which is supported by the spiritual strength and imagination of diaspora writers. History has recorded that Arabs who immigrated or moved to Diaspora countries have made such great works. This means that the history of diaspora literature needs to

Abstract:

Proposing the notion of translational space, I consider the classroom and the literary text as crucial though differentiated spaces of translation. The idea of translational space borrows from Doreen Massey’s elaboration of space as a “complex web of relations of domination and subordination, of solidarity and cooperation.” I interlink the complexity of Massey’s “web” with an intention by the radical Other to translate, and interrogate how selected Caribbean diasporic texts might be shown to engage a process of translation, and for whom, particularly in light of George Lamming’s pronouncement

A common question an immigrant often encounters is ‗where are you from?,‘ not ‗who/what are you?‘ thereby emphasizing the geographical place from which he/she hails. This question demands a specific answer which makes one think and rethink the perennial issue of identity leading to a crisis. This paper discusses the close, inevitable association between one‘s identity and his/her land of origin as presented by writers of Diaspora in general and the Trinidad born writer Neil Bissoondath in particular.

Drawing on diaspora studies, theories of narrative space, and contemporary theories of world literature, this article argues that Somali diasporic literature places at its imaginative and symbolic core the concept of the border. In so doing, Somali diasporic literature interlocks formal and narrative strateg

Abstract:

In ancient Greek literature and Indian epics, Mahabharata and Ramayana, exile or banishment is depicted as a punishment meted out for sins and crimes committed by humans, whether knowingly or unknowingly. Gradually, from individual/ group punishment, exile evolved into mass exodus resulting from war, conquests and other conflicts. All forms of exiles suffer from the pain and sorrow of leaving behind one’s homeland and belongings. Consequently, the literature produced by exiled poets and writers are filled with nostalgia and agonizing memories. However, over the years, other concerns related to

In 1920 Bunin as the most signif-icant writer of the Russian Diaspora focuses on the most famous writer among those who, according to Bunin, supports the Bolsheviks – Maxim Gorky. Bunin also pays close attention to the contro-versy with H.G. Wells: this is due to the role that the English writer played in the context of Soviet Russia. Bun

A number of creative texts by Nigerian migrant writers recreate migrant characters’ experiences of love, intimacy and connected identity politics in the diaspora. However, there is a paucity of scholarly engagements with Nigerian migrant writers’ representation of the complexities that attend the formation and reconfiguration of migrant characters’ identity and love relationships outside the motherland. This study, therefore, examines the intersection of love, place and identity in three purposively selected texts – Segun Afolabi’s Goodbye Lucille, Chimamanda Adichie’s Americanah and Unoma Azu

In recent years, more and more English-language literature is being published by Asian diaspora writers, mostly in the genres of fantasy and science-fiction. With the focal audience being young adults, such publications are seen by many as a form of escapism. While most of these works stem from the Sinophone diaspora communities, there remains much debate regarding how their stories and the authors themselves should be labeled. In the face of the pervasive nature of Western Orientalism, Chinese writers have struggled with the balance of inclusion and exclusion regarding both Chinese culture in
