This book sets out to investigate how contemporary African
diasporic women writers respond to the imbalances, pressures and
crises of twenty-first-century globalization by querying the
boundaries between two separate conceptual domains: love and space.
The study breaks new ground by systematically bringing together
critical love studies with research into the cultures of migration,
diaspora and refuge. Examining a notable tendency among current
black feminist writers, poets and performers to insist on the
affective dimension of world-making, the book ponders strategies of
reconfiguring postcolonial discourses. Indeed, the analyses of
literary works and intermedia performances by Chimamanda Adichie,
Zadie Smith, Helen Oyeyemi, Shailja Patel and Warsan Shire reveal
an urge of moving beyond a familiar insistence on processes of
alienation or rupture and towards a new, reparative emphasis on
connection and intimacy - to imagine possible inhabitable worlds.
