Cultural dislocation: finding intercultural possibilities in exile

This paper aims to examine the ontology of the exile and its implications for intellectuals, educators, and those seeking greater intercultural understandings. Culture to these scholars of exile becomes problematized as they feel a sense of estrangement to all cultures.

The paper acts as a review of literature from published scholars who have been lived a great deal of their life in exile.

Ultimately the paper suggests that educators and intellectuals can learn a great deal from the intellect of the exile, as they live culturally displaced and forge new intercultural understandings.

This paper offers intellectuals and educators a new perception for engaging a transmigrating world.
