Randa Jarrar, Hari Kunzru and Karima Ziali in conversation with Karina Pacheco

Identity and diaspora in literature

Arequipa 2024, 

Literary figures who question their own identity, or who seek their own space. The reality of migration, exile and the diaspora are great parts of life and great themes in literature. Karina Pacheco talks to the Palestinian-US writer Randa Jarrar, the Moroccan-Spanish writer Karima Ziali and the British writer with a partly Indian background, Hari Kunzru, about their works, their literary explorations and how these themes of displacement, migration and diaspora have affected their literature.
