About this book

Social Invisibility and Diasporas in Anglophone Literature and Culture is a transdisciplinary study of social invisibility and diasporas which theorizes the differential in/visibility of diasporas through the prism of cultural productions (literature and the visual arts, including media studies) by both established artists and emerging ones.

Reviews

“Françoise Král’s Social Invisibility and Diasporas in Anglophone Literature and Culture therefore does raise a number of essential issues, in an often compelling manner … . It remains an extremely fascinating and illuminating work whose call for the development of invisibility studies no doubt will be heeded.” (Mathilde Rogez, Miranda, Vol. 12, 2016)
