Towards Turkish American Literature: Narratives of Multiculturalism in Post-Imperial Turkey

by Elena Furlanetto

Overview

The author aims to expand the definition of Turkish American literature beyond fiction written by Americans of Turkish descent to incorporate texts that literally 'commute' between two national spheres. Her analyses include literary works of Elif Shafak, Halide Edip, Güneli Gün and Alev Lytle Croutier.
