“Migrants Through Time”: An Insight Into the Female Diasporic Voice 

“Migrants Through Time”: An Insight Into the Female Diasporic Voice 

This talk discusses the role of place in diasporic literature and the universality of women's voices. Who can speak for whom? What role do distance and diasporic privilege play? Does nostalgia take on dangerous potential, and does it really matter if writing is about the confluence of one's imagination and memory?
