Abstract
Expatriate writing, born out of a paradox between movement and resettlement, a sense of belongingness and alienation, has come to occupy a significant position between cultures and countries. It provides fresh perspectives and raises new theoretical formulations. In the process of trying to understand, or rather unravel, it constructs new identities since such creative expressions involve redefining positions and renegotiating boundaries of the emotional and psychological space one can relate to or which one considers his very own. Cultures travel within the psychological realm with the writers living abroad as they shuttle between the physical and psychological paradigms of two different nations. Cultural theories today are being rewritten by such writers who occupy the “in between’ position living on the peripherals of two cultures.
