Displacements: Cultural Identities in Question

Theories of Contemporary Culture

by Angelika Bammer (editor)

Cultural displacement―physical dislocation from one's native culture or the colonizing imposition of a foreign culture―is one of the most formative experiences of our century. These essays examine the impact of this experience on contemporary notions of cultural identity from the perspectives of anthropology, history, philosophy, literature, and psychology.
