The essays gathered in this volume call into question the validity of rigid boundaries between North-American and South-American studies. The interdisciplinary character of the articles is intended to allow for a more comprehensive understanding of the cultural interactions between Europe, North America and South America. It is also more apt to convey a nuanced image of the ways in which different cultures, literatures and languages interact and intersect in representing the complex issues of exile and migration. The contributions to this trilingual volume address issues related to nation, memory, space and language - crucial components of exilic creation.
