MIGRANT LITERATURE IN CONTEMPORARY ENGLISH LITERATURE

Migrant literature has emerged as a powerful voice in contemporary English literature, reshaping how we understand identity, belonging, and cultural exchange. This article examines how migrant writers use English to tell stories of displacement, adaptation, and transformation across borders. By analyzing recent scholarship and literary trends, we explore the unique characteristics that define migrant narratives and their contribution to the broader literary landscape. The study reveals that migrant literature challenges traditional notions of national literature while creating new spaces for hybrid identities and multicultural perspectives. These works reflect the complex realities of living between cultures, offering insights into both personal and collective experiences of migration. Our findings demonstrate that migrant literature enriches English literature by introducing diverse voices, alternative storytelling techniques, and fresh perspectives on universal human experiences.
