Negotiating Identities.
Constructed Selves and Others.
Bonavita, Helen Vella (Ed.)
Amsterdam/New York, NY, 2011, XI, 217 pp.
|
Series:
At the Interface/Probing the Boundaries 77
The papers within this volume articulate the challenges perceived by an individual or a country when its sense of self is confronted by the foreign, the threatening. Migration, exile, and invasion all challenge the individual or the nation to redefine itself and thereby write and rewrite the concept of personal and national identity. This interdisciplinary collection of papers, published for the first time, provide a stimulating and varied set of insights into the ongoing conversation that maps identity.
