This book offers a unique mapping of Mediterranean cultures and histories in transnational
contexts. A diverse collection of diasporic scholars stage a critical examination of
transmediterranean subjects across a broad spectrum of geopolitical spaces that encompasses
India Greece Palestine Sudan Australia the Netherlands Italy and Libya. Focusing on the
transnational dispersions and heterogeneous embodiments of Mediterranean cultures this book
examines how these cultures geopolitical spaces and subjects are caught within flows of
exchange contestation and reconfiguration. Working in the interstices of global formations
the essays in this volume proceed to articulate transmediterranean affiliations that challenge
the borders and limits of the nation-state.
