ALIENHOOD: Citizenship, Exile, and the Logic of Difference Katarzyna Marciniak University of Minnesota Press | 272 pages | 2006 ISBN 0-8166-4576-0 | hardcover | $67.50 ISBN 0-8166-4577-9 | paperback | $22.50 Interrogating the dominant images of aliens in American popular culture, Katarzyna Marciniak examines ³alienhood² and the impact it has on the daily experiences of migrants, legal or illegal. Using examples from exilic literature and cinema, including the works of Julia Alvarez, Eva Hoffman, Gregory Nava, and Roman Polanski, Alienhood theorizes multicultural experiences of liminal characters that belong in the interstices between nations. ³Katarzyna Marciniak effectively combines telling examples from popular culture and a sophisticated theoretical framework to explain the representation and history of 'foreignness' in the U.S. imagination.² Julia Lesage For more information, including the table of contents, visit the bookıs webpage: http://www.upress.umn.edu/Books/M/marciniak_alienhood.html Sign up to receive news on the latest releases from University of Minnesota Press: http://www.upress.umn.edu/eform.html ---- Online resources for film/TV studies may be found at ScreenSite http://www.ScreenSite.org
