OBJECTIVES<br>
The course focuses on readings of texts exemplifying multicultural Britain and their re-narration of post-colonial <br>
experiences of exile and otherness. A brief excursion into the problematics of contemporary theoretical <br>
approaches will be followed by analyses of poems and novels by contemporary writers of Afro-Caribbean, African <br>
and Asian origin settled in and writing from Britain. Attention will be paid especially to the ways in which this body <br>
of writing can expand our understanding of the complex negotiations of identity: the possible shifts in identity that <br>
occur in relation to migration, the diasporic experience and the workings of the politics of inclusion and exclusion <br>
that erase and inscribe difference. Further issues for discussion and analysis include the role of language, memory <br>
and history, family and home, gender construction, oral and literary traditions. Discussions of primary texts will be <br>
supplemented by theoretical and critical readings exemplifying the range of contemporary (post-colonial) <br>
approaches.<br>
