Examines how contemporary US migrant women's life writing adapts autobiographical genres to call for social change benefiting minoritized communities.
A cross-cultural, comparative study of contemporary life writing by women who migrated to the United States from Mexico, Ghana, South Korea, and Iran, Lives beyond Borders broadens and deepens critical work on immigrant life writing. Ina C. Seethaler investigates how these autobiographical texts-through genre mixing, motifs of doubling, and other techniques-challenge stereotypes, social hierarchies, and the supposed fixity of identity and lend literary support to grassroots social justice efforts. Seethaler's approach to literary analysis is both interdisciplinary and accessible. While Lives beyond Borders draws on feminist theory, critical race theory, and disability and migration studies, it also uses stories to engage and interest readers in issues related to migration and social change. In so doing, the book reevaluates the purpose, form, and audience of immigrant life writing.
About the Author: Ina C. Seethaler is Associate Professor and Director of Women's and Gender Studies at Coastal Carolina University.
