By weaving visual techniques within their narratives (photography, comics, cartography) authors Aleksandar Hemon, G.B. Tran, Junot Díaz, Boris Fishman and Vikram Chandra convey a surplus of perspectives and gesture towards alternative spaces, spatial in-between-ness and transnational space.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements  List of Figures  Introduction: The Spatial Aesthetics of Transnationalism and Transligualism   1 Double Visions and Aesthetics of the Migratory: Aleksandar Hemon’s Lazarus Project  2 Cohesive Fragments: G.B.
