By weaving visual techniques within their narratives (photography, comics, cartography) authors Aleksandar Hemon, G.B. Tran, Junot Díaz, Boris Fishman and Vikram Chandra convey a surplus of perspectives and gesture towards alternative spaces, spatial in-between-ness and transnational space.Costerus New Series224.American fiction20th centuryHistory and criticismAmerican fiction21st centuryHistory and criticismAmerican literatureMinority authorsHistory and criticismSpace and time in literatureLiminality in literatureLiterature and societyUnited StatesHistory20th centuryLiterature and societyUnited StatesHistory21st centuryAmerican literatureMinority authorsfastImmigrants' writings, AmericanfastSpace in literaturefastCriticism, interpretation, etc.fastAmerican fictionHistory and criticism.American fictionHistory and criticism.American literatureMinority authorsHistory and criticism.Space and time in literature.Liminality in literature.Literature and societyHistoryLiterature and societyHistoryAmerican literatureMinority authors.Immigrants' writings, American.Space in literature.813.5409Weiner Sonia1583425NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910793004403321American migrant fictions3866502UNINA
