Overview
Examining contemporary works of autobiography, fiction, and poetry in English by authors from non-English speaking backgrounds who write as language migrants, Besemeres (Curtin U., Australia) grapples with how a particular self at any time depends for its expression on a particular natural language. The underlying notion is that a person migrating to a new language must to some degree recreate themselves. Earlier versions of some chapters have been published separately.
