Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Focusing on Manchester's multicultural literary scene, this book explores the city's identity as a historically migrant hub shaped by its colonial past. Utilizing Avtar Brah's concept of 'diaspora space,' it highlights the contributions of contemporary Mancunian writers from diverse backgrounds, including African, Asian, and Caribbean communities. The authors emphasize the importance of recognizing Manchester's literary tradition and advocate for a broader understanding of English Literature that includes contemporary black and Asian voices beyond London.
