The first Cambridge Companion that foregrounds the realities of African, Asian diasporic and European cultural lineages inherited by British black and Asian writers. It addresses the issue of trans-nationality and the impact of a globalised world and introduces new areas such as LGBTQI literature, rurality, and adoption aesthetics.
