Includes bibliographical references
While literary studies of the university novel have seen a resurgence in recent years alongside the emergence of critical university studies, they have largely excluded the figure of the international student and the history of postwar educational exchange. The corpus of this dissertation comprises contemporary postcolonial and transnational narratives that reflect the anxieties experienced and occasioned by the figure of the border-crossing student since the historical conjuncture of decolonization and the Cold War. Reading study abroad memoirs by Raḍwa Ashour and Amitav Ghosh and novels by Susan Choi, Mohsin Hamid, and Junot Diaz, I explore how the individual experiences of "Third World" students abroad supplemented, traversed, or countered the agendas of state actors and institutions who saw educational exchange as an instrument of diplomacy. Fictional depictions of international students as failed revolutionaries, ungrateful scholarship recipients, spies, and potential terrorists trouble the predominantly celebratory rhetoric surrounding higher education and international educational exchange. At the same time, they theorize the emancipatory potential of education, one irreducible either to the exclusionary freedom of the "liberal" arts or the nominal "freedom" attached to formal decolonization. Drawing on critical insights from postcolonial theory, studies of travel and life writing, literary histories of the academic novel and critical university studies, this dissertation contributes to public debates about the globalization of higher education and its implications for the university's political, ethical, and intellectual functions as a hub institution of contemporary life in a post-9/11 and post-China Initiative era.
