Which role does literature play in the process of social change through migration? Postmigrant literary history establishes a new field-theoretical approach and considers migrants as an integral part of literary fields without losing sight of social inequality. Using Austria as an example, Wiebke Sievers illustrates how unconscious boundaries are inscribed in literary fields in the course of nationalisation and how Vladimir Vertlib, Dimitré Dinev, Julya Rabinowich and Anna Kim each overcome these with their own positioning - evidence that writers can become relevant voices in the social debate on migration.
