Produktinformationen zu „Writing Displacement (PDF)“

This book studies the metamorphosis of the politics of home and identity amongst migrant nationals after WWII, using the Palestinian exilic displacements as a tool to find intersecting points of reference with the Caribbean, Indian, African, Chinese, and Pakistani dispersions. From Sam Selvon to Salman Rushdie and Edward Said to Homi Bhabha, the author here reroutes filiation to affiliation. The text troubles the ideas of citizenship and national belonging; it celebrates the freedom to be 'out of place' which opens doors for and promotes rediscovery of materials that have been repressed or pushed aside in cultural translation, without falling into mental ghettoisation.

Pressezitat

yet still under-discoursed, displacement in Akram Al Deek's book is analysed across a range of post-colonial hybridities, none more authentically than that inflected by his own experience as a third generation Palestinian exile, making Writing Displacement a compelling read." - Geoffery Nash, Senior Lecturer, Sunderland University, UK, and author of From Empire to Orient and Culture and Civilization in the Middle East

"Akram Al Deek's study of the literature of displacement is a bold attempt to read two important generations of Black British writers through the template of the Palestinian experience. Against any fashionable predilection for seeing the displaced as necessarily nomadic, Al Deek argues for the complexity of the forms of identity and attachment that follow from the fact of displacement as they are articulated by writers originating in Africa, the Caribbean, India, and Pakistan." - Patrick Williams, Professor, Nottingham Trent University, UK, andauthor of Edward Said and Post-colonial Theory and Literatures
