Homeland as Memory in Migrant Literature

Publication at Faculty of Arts |

Abstract

This article focusses on the representation of homeland in two Scandinavian novels: Amal Aden's Min drom om frihet (2009) and Jonas Suchanek's Do danska (2014). Both novels can be considered migrant literature and demonstrate the concept of homeland not only as a geographical place, but also in terms of the cultural aspects associated with it, be it friends or food.
