Community Boundaries and Border Crossings : Critical Essays on Ethnic Women Writers Hardback
Edited by Kristen Lillvis, Robert Miltner, Molly Fuller
Part of the Transforming Literary Studies series
Hardback
Description
Globalization and transnationalism have reshaped our communities and their borderlines.
Communities exceed fixed boundaries, existing instead in the liminal spaces where narratives intersect, clash, or cooperate.
These liminal spaces—physical and virtual, local and global—provide opportunities for diversifying discussions on diaspora, cultural hybridity, and ethnic identity.
Ethnic women writers make significant contributions to this dialogue regarding the reconfiguration of people and their perimeters. A multigenre and multicultural text, Community Boundaries and Border Crossings explores the novels, short stories, essays, autobiographies, testimonios, plays, poems, and hybrid poetics of established and emerging ethnic women writers.
This collection of critical essays highlights the new zones of cultural contact and exchange that are defining the twenty-first century.
Each chapter reflects an awareness of cultural changes and challenges, engaging readers in a richly productive conversation concerning the interconnectedness of border crossings and community boundaries.
