Migration and Multiplicity of Belonging in Caryl Phillips
Abstract
L’identità, l’appartenenza e il suo opposto, l’esclusione, sono temi di grande rilevanza nella saggistica e narrativa di Caryl Phillips. In particolare, alcuni saggi pubblicati in due raccolte, A New World Order (2001) e Colour Me English (2011), e il romanzo A Distant Shore (2003) esplorano in che modo immigrati e rifugiati stiano ridisegnando un nuovo ordine nel moderno mondo globalizzato e nuovi concetti di appartenenza e identificazione fondati sulla pluralità culturale. L’articolo seguirà l’evoluzione del pensiero di Phillips nel primo decennio del nuovo millennio, concentrandosi in particolare sui testi sopra indicati.
