| Sommario/riassunto: | This book explores colonial and postcolonial literatures of Singapore and Malaysia. It traces in them a history of anxiety that attends to the notion of home. The premise is that home is a physical space as well as a symbolic terrain invested with social, political and cultural meanings. |
