Assessing the conditions, duration, and shifting roles of hosts and guests in the United States, the book concentrates on the ways the US administers protocols of belonging and non-belonging, and distinguishes between those who can feel at home from those who will always be outside the body politic, even if they were the original "hosts." The volume opens with a genealogy of hospitality through a focus on its sites, from its origins in the Bible, to its national and post-national renditions in contemporary American literature and culture. The authors explore recent representations of immigrant spatiality, from the space of the body in Spielberg's The Terminal and Frears's Dirty Pretty Things , to the different ways in which immigrants are incorporated into the United States in Alex Rivera's Sleep Dealer, Karen T. Yamashita's I Hotel , Junot Di?az's "Invierno," and Ernesto Quin?onez's Chango's Fire , concluding with the spectrality of the immigrant body in George Saunders' "The Semplica Girl Diaries." Timely and imperative in light of the legacies of colonialism, and the realities of modern-day globalization, this book will be of value to specialists in post-colonialism; American Studies; immigration, diaspora, and border studies; and critical race and gender studies for its innovative approaches to media and literary texts. 410 0$aRoutledge interdisciplinary perspectives on literature ;$v71. 606 $aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aHospitality in literature 606 $aSpace in literature 606 $aBorderlands in literature 606 $aHospitality$zUnited States 615 0$aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aHospitality in literature. 615 0$aSpace in literature. 615 0$aBorderlands in literature. 615 0$aHospitality 676 $a809.93355 700 $aManzanas Calvo$b Ana Ma$g(Ana Ma),$0610856 701 $aBenito Sanchez$b Jesus$0610855 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910149373903321 996 $aHospitality in American literature and culture$91993937 997 $aUNINA
