Description

Book Synopsis
The figure of the stranger is in serious need of revision, as is our understanding of the society against which the stranger is projected.

Trade Review
"In this original and highly readable volume, Rumford moves debate beyond the figure of the stranger as an intrusion from outside toward strangeness as a feature of the human condition in an epoch of globalization." - Robert Holton, Trinity College, Dublin, Republic of Ireland
