- Description
- The travel memoir Between Stations adds to the emerging body of Asian Australian literature by first-generation migrants. The personal essays can be read individually, as well as an organic whole, forming a continuous narrative that explores the dialectic the Asian migrant writer has to negotiate, between the place of birth and the adopted homeland, memory and imagination, the past and the present. The essays, in tracking the physical acts of travel and migration, map the liminal spaces between Singapore and Australia, and reveal the complex, ongoing negotiation of borders and identities in migrant literature.
