Sell -- Tropes of diasporic life in the work of Nadeem Aslam / Chris Weedon -- Becoming foreign : tropes of migrant identity in three novels by Abdulrazak Gurnah / Felicity Hand -- 'My split self and my split world' : troping identity in Mohsin Hamid's fiction / Adriano Elia -- 'Beige outlaws' : Hanif Kureishi, miscegenation and diasporic experience / Ruth Maxey -- Metaphors of belonging in Andrea Levy's Small Island / Sofía Muñóz-Valdivieso -- Ancestry, uncertainty and dislocation in V.S. Naipaul's Half a Life / Enrique Galván Álvarez -- Jewish/postcolonial diasporas in the work of Caryl Phillips / Stef Craps -- Metaphors of the secular in the fiction of Salman Rushdie / Stephen Morton -- White Teeth's embodied metaphors : the moribund and the living / Isabel Carrera Suárez -- Orpheus in the Alpujarras : metaphors of arrival in Chris Stewart's Driving Over Lemons / Jonathan P.A. Sell.Choose ten major contemporary diasporic writers (from Abdulrazak to Zadie), ask ten leading authorities to write about their use of metaphor, and this is the result: a timely reassertion of metaphor's unrivalled capacity to encompass sameness and difference and create understanding and empathy across boundaries of nationality, race and ethnicity.LiteratureLiterature—PhilosophyCulture—Study and teachingLiterature, Modern—20th centuryOriental literatureBritish literaturePostcolonial/World Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/838000Literary Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/812000Cultural Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411130Twentieth-Century Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/822000Asian Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/831000British and Irish Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/833000e-kirjatslm/finLiterature.Literature—Philosophy.Culture—Study and teaching.Literature, Modern—20th century.Oriental literature.British literature.Postcolonial/World Literature.Literary Theory.Cultural Theory.Twentieth-Century Literature.Asian Literature.British and Irish Literature.809.93355809/.93355823.9209LIT008000LIT004120LIT004220bisacshSell Jonathan P.A.edthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtFI-TBOOK9910778934703321Metaphor and Diaspora in Contemporary Writing3808411UNINA
