505 0  Introduction: Diaspora, home, writing -- pt. 1: Black 
       British perspectives. From black Britain to the Caribbean:
       the return of the (im)migrant in Caryl Phillips's A state 
       of independence ; Exile, history, and migrancy in Jamal 
       Mahjoub's The carrier ; The hybridization of Europe in 
       Mike Phillips's A shadow of myself ; The politics of self-
       making in post-colonial fiction: the Bildung of Pretty 
       Bobby in Hari Kunzru's The impressionist ; Narratives of 
       diaspora and trauma in Kamila Shamsie's Salt and saffron ;
       Britain, "home", and diaspora in the refugee novels by 
       Benjamin Zephaniah, Abdulrazak Gurnah, and Caryl Phillips 
       -- pt. 2: Diasporic Americans. The hybridity of the Asian 
       American subject in Cynthia Kadohata's The floating world 
       ; Migration and diaspora in Ana Castillo's Sapogonia ; 
       Writing diasporic identity in Diana Abu-Jaber's Crescent ;
       Transnational travel in Bharati Mukherjee's Desirable 
       daughters ; Home, transnationalism, and transformation in 
       Bharati Mukherjee's Leave it to me ; Conclusion. 
520    "This innovative volume discusses the significance of home
       and global mobility in contemporary diasporic fiction 
       written in English. Through analyses of central diasporic 
       and migrant writers in the United Kingdom and the United 
       States, the timely volume exposes the importance of home 
       and its reconstruction in diasporic literature in the era 
       of globalization and increasing transnational mobility. 
       Through wide-ranging case studies dealing with a variety 
       of black British and ethnic American writers, Home, 
       Identity, and Mobility in Contemporary Diasporic Fiction 
       shows how new identities and homes are constructed in the 
       migrants' new homelands. The volume examines how diasporic
       novels inscribe hybridity and multiplicity in formerly 
       uniform spaces and subvert traditional understandings of 
       nation, citizenship, and history. Particular emphasis is 
       on the ways in which diasporic fictions appropriate and 
       transform traditional literary genres such as the 
       Bildungsroman and the picaresque to explore the questions 
       of migration and transformation. The authors discussed 
       include Caryl Phillips, Jamal Mahjoub, Mike Phillips, Hari
       Kunzru, Kamila Shamsie, Benjamin Zephaniah, Abdulrazak 
       Gurnah, Cynthia Kadohata, Ana Castillo, Diana Abu-Jaber, 
       and Bharati Mukherjee. The volume is of particular 
       interest to all scholars and students of post-colonial and
       ethnic literatures in English."--Page 4 of cover.
