Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The crossing of borders and frontiers between political states and between languages and cultures continues to inhibit and bedevil the freedom of movement of both ideas and people. This book addresses the issues arising from problems of translation and communication, the understanding of identity in hyphenated cultures, the relationship between landscape and character, and the multiplex topic of gender transition. Literature as a key to identity in borderland situations is explored here, together with analyses of semiotics, narratives of madness and abjection.The volume also examines the contemporary refugee crisis through first-hand "Personal Witness" accounts of migration, and political, ethnic and religious divisions in Kosovo, Greece, Portugal and North America. Another section, gathering together historical and current "Poetry of Exile", offers poets' perspectives on identity and tradition in the context of loss, alienation, fear and displacement.
