Summary: "This study argues that the notion of Americanness is constructed nationally within the U.S. geographical space, as well as transnationally outside that space. The transnational perception of the U.S. nation-space makes possible ambivalent positionings, which the author describes as non-national sites that challenge singular national affiliations and identifications"-- Provided by publisher

内容説明・目次
内容説明
In this wide-ranging study, Gomma examines contemporary migrant narratives by Arab-American, Chicana, Indian-American, Pakistani-American, and Cuban-American women writers. Concepts such as national consciousness, time, space, and belonging are scrutinized through the "non-national" experience, unsettling notions of a unified America.
