ISBN: 9781526120014 - postcolonial manchester: diaspora space and the devolution of literary culture (18 risultati)

Paperback. Condizione: New. Postcolonial Manchester offers a radical new perspective on Britain's devolved literary cultures by focusing on Manchester's vibrant, multicultural literary scene. Referencing Avtar Brah's concept of 'diaspora space', the authors argue that Manchester is, and always has been, a quintessentially migrant city to which workers of all nationalities and cultures have been drawn since its origins in the cotton trade and expansion of the British Empire.
