Writing diaspora in the west: intimacy, identity and the new marginalism

In this bold intervention into the understanding of the diasporic experience within cultural studies, McCarthy challenges a critical position emergent overthe last thirty years (what he calls the 'new marginalism'). He confronts theliberal orthodoxies that prevail in this area, exposing contradictions in thethinking of its major theorists.
