With the rise of populist nationalisms in the USA and the UK in the eras of Trumpism, Brexit, and their aftermath, targets of nationalist groups have increasingly been represented, and thus constituted, as individual suffering victims. Certain groups embrace such representations. They use them to secure help and protection for themselves. Less scrupulous individuals may even embrace these representations to elide their own accountability and further nefarious goals. This book examines an intriguing selection of writers to show how they are attempting to recalibrate such stories to reject victimhood. It explores how just memory is deployed to ascribe agency to transnational characters. 410 0$aText (Rodopi (Firm)) ;$v96. 606 $aMarginality, Social, in literature 606 $aVictims in literature 606 $aImmigrants in literature 606 $aTransnationalism in literature 606 $aAgent (Philosophy) in literature 608 $aLiterary criticism.$2lcgft 615 0$aMarginality, Social, in literature. 615 0$aVictims in literature. 615 0$aImmigrants in literature. 615 0$aTransnationalism in literature. 615 0$aAgent (Philosophy) in literature. 676 $a809.8920691 700 $aBosman$b Sean James$01684862 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810102903321 996 $aRejection of victimhood in literature$94056559 997 $aUNINA
