• Sommario/riassunto: This Palgrave Pivot makes a case for 'sojourner literature', a new literary genre within transnational literature, parallel to 'immigrant literature', and its subgenre 'readaptation narratives'.Sojourners are a privileged group of migrants who travel freely and by choice, and yet they struggle with the experience of returning home.
