Abstract or Description

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.
