Title

Flight from Certainty : The Dilemma of Identity and Exile

Description

Collection of essays in cultural criticism, with specific emphases on national, ethnic, and linguistic identities in transit. Divided in the text by the geographies to which each essay pertains. From the introduction: "The authors [in 'Flight from Certainty'] have attempted to combine scholarship, personal experience, wit, and irony in dealing with questions which so far have gone unanswered: 'How far is identity modelled by the country in which people grow up and believe they have their roots? What happens to the concept of identity when a person abandons one country to live in another?'"
