Description

Literature of diasporas explores concerns arising from forced or voluntary migration in tangential to the issues of citizenship, along with writers born into hybridity and cosmopolitanism in an increasingly globalized world. However, in spite of many factors leading to willing or unwilling diaspora, many people are still bound by the traditional nation-state notions of pure language and pure identity, instead of coming to grips with multiple, fragmented, contradictory identities in the twenty-first century.
