Promoting Cultural Diversity/Multiculturalism Post 9/11: A Conclusion.This book studies the metamorphosis of the politics of home and identity amongst migrant nationals after WWII, using the Palestinian exilic displacements as a tool to find intersecting points of reference with the Caribbean, Indian, African, Chinese, and Pakistani dispersions. From Sam Selvon to Salman Rushdie and Edward Said to Homi Bhabha, the author here reroutes filiation to affiliation. The text troubles the ideas of citizenship and national belonging; it celebrates the freedom to be 'out of place' which opens doors for and promotes rediscovery of materials that have been repressed or pushed aside in cultural translation, without falling into mental ghettoisation.Middle Eastern literatureBritish literatureAmerica—LiteraturesLiterature—History and criticismFictionLiterature—PhilosophyMiddle Eastern Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/835000British and Irish Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/833000North American Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/834000Literary Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/813000Fictionhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/825000Literary Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/812000Middle Eastern literature.British literature.America—Literatures.Literature—History and criticism.Fiction.Literature—Philosophy.Middle Eastern Literature.British and Irish Literature.North American Literature.Literary History.Fiction.Literary Theory.823.91409353LIT004100LIT004120LIT004220bisacshAl Deek Akramauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1063946MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910315358303321Writing Displacement2535436UNINA
