La lingua italiana non è solo nostra, e la letteratura che di essa si nutre si declina al plurale esplorando i propri confini. In questa pluralità di voci provenienti da tutto il mondo trova terreno fertile la letteratura italiana della migrazione. L'autrice, esaminando le diverse fasi di tale produzione letteraria in Italia, si sofferma in particolare sul caso di Igiaba Scego, esponente della seconda generazione di scrittrici italiane di origine straniera. La Scego, nell'essere metà italiana e metà somala, costruisce i suoi romanzi mettendo in scena le tematiche e le problematiche culturali legate alle identità femminili: le sue protagoniste sono sempre alla ricerca di un equilibrio identitario sospeso tra due diverse culture di appartenenza. In queste pagine si scoprono nuove forme di linguaggio, nuovi modi di pensare, di scrivere e di raccontare che avvicinano il lettore italiano alla nuova realtà interculturale di oggi

Travel writing, migrant writing, exile writing, expatriate writing, and even the fictional travelling protagonists that emerge in literary works from around the globe, have historically tended to depict mobility as a masculine phenomenon. The presence of such genres in women's writing, however, poses a rich and unique body of work. This volume examines the texts of Francophone women who have experienced or reflected upon the experience of transnational movement. Due to the particularity of their relationship to home, and the consequent impact of this on their experience of displacement, the study of women's mobility opens up new questions in our understanding of the movement from place to place, and in our broader understanding of colonial and postcolonial worlds. Addressing the proximities and overlaps that exist between the experiences of women exiles, migrants, expatriates and travellers, the collected essays in this book seek to challenge the usefulness, relevance or validity of such terms for conceptualising today's complex patterns of transnational mobility and the gendered identities produced therein.
