Klappentext
Introduces a theoretical perspective on the loss of communal lands and subsequent migration, with a focus on how media can help sustain diaspora communities' culture and their relation to land amidst such crises.
Through an exploration of the impact of land loss on emigration and immigration, this book lays out the permanent consequences of land loss and how these consequences have been explored and conceptualized in post-World War II cinema, literature, and visual art. A historical understanding of the loss of rural and urban common land helps illuminate violent anti-immigrant, and, surprisingly, anti-emigrant practices. This book considers immigration and emigration from both impoverished and wealthy countries, and offers a combined theorization of cultural artefacts and reference to historical context and current facts. Examples in this book illuminate immigration and emigration in South America, Central America, North America, and Asia.
