Sommario/riassunto

This book explores the themes of exile and identity through literature and cultural studies. It examines the reasons behind human migration, including persecution, conflict, and the search for better living conditions. The authors discuss how individuals and communities renegotiate their identities in new environments and the challenges



they face in finding acceptance and belonging. The work is divided into three parts, focusing on the Americas, Europe, and Africa, and includes contributions from scholars across different continents. It offers a multidisciplinary perspective on the impact of migration on identity and cultural integration.
