A look at writers who are exiles from colonized homelands, who move to the imperial metropolis to develop their art and find a market for their writing. Looks at how this pattern has effected such diverse writers as Katherine Mansfield from New Zealand, V.S. Naipaul from Trinidad, and Ngugi wa Thiong'o from Kenya. Looks at issues of identity and alienation, and the unique perspective that exiled writers bring to their work. Includes bibliography.
