Title

Aesthetics of Immigrant Literature: Shifting Perceptions and Changing Dimensions

Authors

Abstract

Immigrant literature tends to bear the distinct mark of the migrant sensibility of the author, who has relocated himself from his homeland to an alien land. This crossing of geographical boundaries, which would earn for him the indelible label of an ‘immigrant’, will lead to a particular mind set characterized by feelings of schizophrenia, rootlessness, alienation etc. All these divisive forces experienced by the immigrant are born out of a sense of ‘non-belonging’ engendered by the loss of a ‘home’. The literary output of an immigrant very often reflects his need to fabricate an alternate space for himself. Having abandoned the ‘primary space’ of his homeland, and feeling marginalized in the ‘secondary space’ of the migrated land, the immigrant becomes a victim of spaces. The intersection of these two spaces creates a new interstitial space, which is located on the margins of two cultures. The urge to find an alternate space persistently finds its literary expression in many immigrant writings. However, the era of globalization, and the ever widening horizon of the digital world have necessitated a redefinition of what constitutes immigrant literature. The emergence of global citizens whose identity transcends and even defies geographical or political borders, has led to a shift in perception, which in turn has brought in new dimensions to immigrant writings.
