Quelle est la différence entre un écrivain considéré sans distinction aucune, un écrivain québécois, un écrivain forgé par l'immigration et un écrivain étiqueté comme écrivain migrant? Y a-t-il un lien entre le contexte socioculturel et historique du Québec et l'émergence des "écritures migrantes"? Quand un écrivain migre, ses sources d'inspirations migrent-elles avec lui? Peut-on parler d'un seul imaginaire migrant ou bien, à l'instar de leurs auteurs, les sujets migrent-ils à leur tour? À quel niveau, la dimension migrante se laisse-t-elle le mieux observer? Cet ouvrage se propose de cerner ces différentes questions pour rendre hommage aux écritures migrantes, courant littéraire éphémère et redondant de la fin du XXe siècle au Québec. L'auteure cherche à expliquer la popularité de ce phénomène complexe qui dépasse de loin le domaine de la langue et littérature francophone et se retrouve, un peu à son insu, à la croisée de plusieurs disciplines telles que la sociologie et la psychologie.

Has Canada moved beyond the nation state into the world of the post-national? To what extent have fixed notions of Canadian nationhood been replaced by a more global, decentralized sense of identification? Is nationhood (or post-nationhood) best expressed by statelessness and exile or by belonging? Or can Canadian national identity in fact fruitfully coexist with the post-national consciousness? These are some of the issues covered by this volume, issues seen from a range of perspectives - literary, cultural, political and economic. In the literary sphere the national/post-national debate is explored both through canonical writers, such as L. M. Montgomery, Stephen Leacock, and Marie-Claire Blais, and through recent First Nations, Asian-Canadian, African-Canadian, Ukrainian-Canadian and Quebec writing. The political and economic range is equally diverse, covering such topics as immigration policy, multiculturalism, Canadian-American relations, tourist imaginings of the Canadian North, the Canadian city, and Quebec nationalism. The book brings together 27 original articles from international scholars and creative writers, offering both European and Canadian perspectives. Six articles in French focus specifically on the francophone sphere.

In these essays some of Canada’s leading literary critics examine how recent Canadian literature addresses notions of multiplicity, and how ideas of space and landscape complement and intersect with the constantly changing facets of Canadian society. The collection considers the works of a large number of diverse writers, while dealing specifically with genres such as Asian, African, and Native Canadian writing.
