Region/Writing/Home: Relocating Diasporic Writing in Britain
Volume 9 Number 2
Description
This issue examines diasporic writing in Britain. The diversity of the contributions in the issue confounds any attempt to homogenize Britain. The essays and creative pieces are set in Liverpool, Leeds, London, Manchester, Rotherham and Sheffield, but these locations are viewed through the lenses of ‘elsewhere’: the Caribbean, India, Pakistan, Ireland, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Sri Lanka.
