Displacement, Diaspora, and Geographies of Identity by Smadar Lavie

Displacement, Diaspora, and Geographies of Identity by Smadar Lavie

Challenges conventional understandings of identity based on notions of nation and culture as bounded or discrete. This volume exemplifies a cross-disciplinary cultural studies and a concept of culture rooted in lived experience as well as textual readings.

“Displacement, Diaspora, and Geographies of Identity is informed not only by detailed attention to specific case studies or theoretical analyses, but also by an awareness of theoretical work in several fields which allows the highlighting of points and circuits of connections across disciplines and areasThis collection succeeds in ways which are thought provoking and likely to lead to vital discussions across disciplines.”— David Lloyd, University of California, Berkeley
“For me the strength of this collection lies in its various attempts to experiment in proseform and to thus exemplify in practice the boldness of theory required by this awesome and treacherous field. It therewith helps us all in furthering the bustling heterogeneity of displacing-disciplinarity minimally demanded by its momentous subjects and subject-matters.”—Michael Taussig, Columbia University
