The texts are roughly classified by scholars as into sub-categories of Migration Literature or "Ecriture Migrante/Ecriture Immigrantes" within the discipline of Literature. In a classroom before teaching these migrant texts it is necessary to build trust between the migrant student, the institutional system and the teacher to develop a sense of inclusivity that might make the migrant student a little more comfortable about reading migrant literatures and corelate with its relevance.MuhajirBangladesh liberation warKamila ShamshieMigrationBordersBoundaryIntergenerational traumaArticle
