Abstract

The intersection of (postcolonial) literature, refugees and asylum, whether one wishes to emphasise continuity or rupture with earlier models and concepts, or to affirm or contest its critical utility, remains a rich and a politically timely site for debate for literary criticism. This monographic issue of Il Tolomeo contributes to this conversation by exploring examples of refugee/asylum literature across various historical and geographical contexts and literary traditions, and through different theoretical and methodological perspectives, including (and expanding the scope of) postcolonial ones.
