Negotiating identities : constructed selves and others

About the Author Helen Vella Bonavita‘s research is in the fields of marginalised figures and national identity in early modern literature. She currently works at Edith Cowan University, Western Australia. Product Description The papers within this volume articulate the challenges perceived by an individual or a country when its sense of self is confronted by the foreign, the threatening. Migration, exile, and invasion all challenge the individual or the nation to redefine itself and thereby write and rewrite the concept of personal and national identity. This interdisciplinary collection of papers, published for the first time, provide a stimulating and varied set of insights into the ongoing conversation that maps identity.
