EXPATRIATE LITERATURE: (Not Permanent)

An expatriate is a person from one nation who lives in another nation, but often not on a permanent basis. They have no intention to become a citizen of the destination country. When such expatriate writers face class conflict, cultural conflict etc, and when they express their conflict or struggle in their literature, it is called EXPATRIATE LITERATURE.

DIASPORA LITERATURE: (Permanent)

This refers to the whole community or group of people of a country who have moved abroad. They move from one country to the other on a permanent basis due to some wars or natural calamities. They too struggle hard to cope up the new social surroundings. When such writers write literature, it is termed as DIASPORIC LITERATURE.

 IMMIGRANT LITERATURE: (Permanent)

An immigrant is someone who has moved from one country to another, usually permanently or with the intention of permanently becoming resident of that country. When such immigrant writers write literature to express their observations and conflict in these new surroundings, it is known as IMMIGRANT LITERATURE.
