Love and Space in Contemporary African Diasporic Womens Writing

More about the book

Focusing on contemporary African diasporic women writers, this book explores their responses to globalization's challenges by examining the interplay between love and space. It integrates critical love studies with migration and diaspora research, highlighting a trend among black feminist artists to emphasize connection and intimacy over alienation. Through analyses of works by Chimamanda Adichie, Zadie Smith, and others, the study reveals a shift towards creating reparative narratives that envision new, inhabitable worlds.
