Description and Table of Contents

Description

A comparative study of the highly problematic concept of "home" in works by authors born and raised in colonial contexts and repatriated as young adults to European "homelands" which they had never before seen. They write at an angle to nationalist or imperialist constructions of home and create "terragraphica", or a place from which to write.
