By A Customer
This review is from: Nomadic Identities: The Performance of Citizenship (Public Worlds) (Hardcover)
I happened to stumble upon this beautiful, fascinating read and was amazed by its rich exploration of how we construct our identities in the new politics of globalization, migrancy, postcolonialism and postmodernism. The author shows a deep understanding of the personal effects of nationalism and internationalism, and the nuances of urban survival at a time when the meaning of the terms 'global' and 'local' have become shifting and unsteady. A must read for anyone working on postcolonial studies, or anyone who wants to think more deeply about how migration will evolve in the 21st century.
