Transnation – hinnat ja saatavuus

Transnation: Identity and Mobility in Postcolonial Literature and Culture offers a fresh and thought-provoking exploration of transnationalism, focusing on the mobility of populations who may not physically leave their national borders, but whose potential for movement subtly challenges the power and authority of the state. Drawing from postcolonial studies, it examines how marginalized and colonized groups resist and navigate the systems of control imposed by the state—resistance that may be subtle, yet constant and potent. Through the concept of the transnation, Bill Ashcroft reveals how individuals and groups move while avoiding the restrictive practices of borders. It emphasizes the increasing global mobility and how all nations, whether their populations are moving or not, can be seen as transnations. The book provides a radical lens on mobility, showing how deeply it impacts nations and how it might pose a threat to traditional forms of control. The work covers critical themes such as: Nations, Postnationalism, and the Transnation; The Space of the Transnation; Borders and Bordering Practices; The Subjects of the Transnation; The Transnation and the City; The Porosity of Borders in the Works of Rushdie and Ghosh An ideal resource for scholars and students of global movement, migration, literary studies, postcolonial studies, and transnational studies, this book provides a unique perspective on how people move within and across the boundaries of nation-states in an increasingly interconnected world. This book will be of great use to scholars and students investigating the increase in global movement.
