Media Reviews
This long-awaited book rekindles conventional descriptions of migrant spaces and does so by engaging with all disciplines. Spaces, societies, literature, cinema, and many other fields and approaches find here a happy complementarity. This is a new and most welcomed reading of an eminently problematic and contemporary object. -- Charles Bonn, Université Lyon
Finally, a book with sufficient imaginative sweep and critical sensibility to tap the spread and complexity of a multilateral European culture in the making. Carefully unraveling the tight threads that stitch together an inherited sense of 'home' and history, the authors reveal a series of unfinished narratives constantly translating the elsewhere into current immediacies and rendering the local, the assumed, and the habitual other-wise. -- Iain Chambers, Professor of Cultural and Postcolonial Studies at the Oriental University in Naples, Author of Culture After Humanism
