Abstract:
The purpose of this article is to explore a territory that is widely contested in colonial and postcolonial studies. Home appears with particular intensity in the literary and critical narratives of empire, while postcolonial writers appropriate it as a site of contestation and rewriting. Although home is a standard topos in postcolonial research, my study focuses on a particular authorial position that reveals enticing new perspectives on the ways in which the domestic is both inscribed and subverted in the rhetoric of migration.
Keywords:
migration, postcolonialism, home, homelessness, Sufism, subversive self-location.
