In this wide-ranging and well-organized contribution to the terms we need today to engage with the transformations of the literary field as a result of ever-greater population movements, Subha Xavier focuses on how the work [of migrant authors to France and Quebec] has been both made and marketed as a commodity in the global capitalist economy. This intention underpins her corpus, which ranges widely in terms of period and location, stretching from 1970s Quebec through 1980s `Beur literature' to the later Sebbar, and also taking in a range of Quebec-based authors, including Haitian-born Dany Laferriere, French Jewish Regine Robin, and Ying Chin. Xavier's range and focus is a significant contribution to engaging with the dynamics of marginalization and market share. Francospheres What makes this book amazingly convincing are the insightful analyses of key literary works, which help illuminate the concept of the migrant text, and provide in themselves superb examples of contemporary critical readings. The Migrant Text is an original and excellent contribution that should have an extensive readership. - Francois Pare, University of Waterloo
