Diasporic Generationality: Identity, Generation Relationships and Diaspora in Selected Novels from Britain and Canada

Sylvia Langwald's dissertation Diasporic Generationality: Identity, Generation Relationships and Diaspora in Selected Novels from Britain and Canada has been published by Wißner. It is part of Martin Kuester's Studies in Aglophone Literatures and Cultures series of books.

In 2015, Sylvia Langwald received an award for the best dissertation of 2015 from the International Council for Canadian Studies (ICCS) for this book.

Excerpt from the blurb:

Diasporic Generationality examines the intersections between identity formation and intergenerational relationships in the diaspora. Based on the analysis of six novels from Britain and Canada, this study challenges static thinking about ‘the immigrant family’ and second-generation diasporic identities in current critical discourse and proposes a theory of diasporic generationality that acknowledges the complex dynamics of identity and generation relationships in the contexts of migration and multiculturalism.
