Reviews

"A highly recommended collection that aims to “alter the ways we think about place and identity in the contemporary world.”" – in: U 7 (10 August 2008)

"This collection of diverse accounts on how exile is experienced and expressed across the globe promotes interdisciplinary discussion, which should be of interest to scholars in history, sociology, cultural and literary studies, as well as artists, writers and activists outside the academic sphere." – in: Transnational Literature 2 (1 November 2009)
