In pursuing ‘good immigrant’ figures across a range of fiction, film, memoir, and monodrama since the 1990s, John McLeod exposes the suspect social and cultural dynamics that govern the admission of selected migrant or mobile lives under strict conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWorking with the double meaning of ‘sanction’ (both permission and prohibition), \u003cem\u003eGlobal Trespassers\u003c\/em\u003e uncovers the mendacious, mercurial border logics that fix such figures in prefabricated identities and relations while foregrounding representations of ‘good immigrants’ who trespass outside the constraints of their concession and challenge such modes of assimilation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eExamining three global domains where minoritised mobile figures are readily sanctioned – the adoptive family, the sporting arena, the world city – McLeod critically assesses the extent to which trespass makes possible the insurgent rethinking of human personhood and relationality across the ready-made lines of kinship, race, and culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is expressed in an eclectic variety of key contemporary cultural texts by Stephen Frears, Jackie Kay, Lemn Sissay, Deann Borshay Liem, Caryl Phillips, John Lanchester, Joseph O’Neill, Douglas Gordon and Philippe Parreno, Teju Cole, Mohsin Hamid, Tash Aw, and others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47934044635372,"sku":"9781805966340","price":150.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781805966340-global-trespassers.jpg?v=1783892437"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/john-mcleod.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
