The Mind of Love: New Approaches to Popular Romance

Re-Mapping Cities: Gendered Performances of Urban Lives

V.G. Julie Rajan, Ph.D., and Caterina Romeo, Ph.D., eds.

Transnational movements and migrations have increasingly renegotiated notions of national territory and migrant identity. In some contexts, nations have represented migrants as enemies of national identity in the attempt to subdue the nationalistic anxiety that has arisen from the presumed necessity to protect a territory. In turn, migrants have resisted that marginalization and have imposed new cartographies onto the territories they have come to inhabit.
