520 $a"In this fascinating and erudite book, Bryan Cheyette throws new light on a wide range of modern and contemporary writers--some at the heart of the canon, others more marginal--in order to explore the power and limitations of the diasporic imagination after the Second World War and the end of empire. Returning to the early responses to the death camps and decolonisation, and moving through internationally prominent literature after the Second World War, the book culminates in fresh engagements with contemporary Jewish, post-ethnic, and postcolonial writers. Framing a host of twentieth- and twenty-first-century luminaries as critical exemplars of the diasporic imagination--among them Hannah Arendt, Anita Desai, Frantz Fanon, Albert Memmi, Primo Levi, Caryl Phillips, Philip Roth, Salman Rushdie, Edward Said, Zadie Smith, and Muriel Spark--Cheyette explores the intertwined experience and relation of diaspora. Against the discrete disciplinary thinking of the academy, he elaborates and argues for a new comparative approach across post-Holocaust and postcolonial histories and literatures."--Dust jacket.
