Description: Global Trespassers explores contemporary representations of minoritised migrants permitted to remain in the Global North. With reference to three domains where 'good immigrants' are readily sanctioned -- the adoptive family, the sporting arena, the world city -- McLeod critically assesses how imaginative acts of trespassing can traverse the boundaries of such sanctioning.
Brief description: John McLeod is Professor of Postcolonial and Diaspora Literatures, School of English, University of Leeds, UK
Review Quotes:
'This is, then, a long-awaited work which resourcefully examines the question of the representation of migration from a different angle, while at the same time offering a fresh commentary on how identities continue to evolve in the postcolonial context.'
