Visual artists are perceived as being on the margins of society, if not firmly ensconced outside the city gates. From that vantage point, we understand, they have more to say about that society than those barbecuing on their patios in the shadow of the inside of the city walls. In this collection of articles, contributors examine the true outsiders, those whose lives' choices or circumstances have made them expatriates, whether in the West or elsewhere. Topics include the experiences of visual artists from Egypt in the West, post-colonial theory and its implications for artistic expression, Lacan's approach to Orientalism, the shifts engendered by globalization, and the further shifts necessary to survive and thrive on the cusp as a peripheral and perpetual insider.
