Conceptualizing Transnationalism: A Study on Nadia Hashimi’s The Sky at Our Feet

Abstract

This article scrutinizes the subjects of transnational migration in Nadia Hashimi’s novel The Sky at Our Feet. The setting of the novel is in transnational cognizance. Hashimi’s discourse articulates the perception of illegal Afghan migrants living in America. Hashimi exemplifies the predicament of Afghanistan, which provides the transnational migrants nothing but an incapacitated home. This article scrutinizes the notion of home, identity crisis, and memory through transnational characters.
