Reviews for Writing Outside the Nation
"Azade Seyhan's innovative analysis of diasporic and transnational writing will certainly instigate re-interpretations of literary texts beyond the scope of her own study. [T]he achievement and importance of Seyhan's Writing Outside the Nation are unmistakable."
