This project situates itself within the ?spatial turn? of literary studies to analyze the way the U.S has displayed a history of spatial colonization, which we see as a pattern we turn to a variety of seemingly disconnected forced migrations. With chapters that focus on migrations related the Dust Bowl, the Great Migration, the migration of peoples placed in Japanese American internment camps, and the migration of Southwestern migrant labor, Manzella makes some fascinating connections across narratives that would not typically be brought together. Ultimately, this project lays bare the oppressive practices of U.S. policy and reveals the resistance individual groups accessed as they completed these internal migrations. 606 $aRefugees in literature 606 $aDisplacement (Psychology) in literature 606 $aRace relations in literature 606 $aMigration, Internal, in literature 606 $aAmerican fiction$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aRefugees in literature. 615 0$aDisplacement (Psychology) in literature. 615 0$aRace relations in literature. 615 0$aMigration, Internal, in literature. 615 0$aAmerican fiction$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a813/.509355 700 $aManzella$b Abigail G.
