Taking the turn of this century as a starting point, when new
legislation around detention, deportation and dispersal began to
take effect, "Contemporary Asylum Narratives" identifies an
emerging cultural engagement with asylum seekers and refugees in
twenty-first century Britain. Through a focus on authors,
playwrights and filmmakers this study brings literary and cultural
criticism to bear on asylum issues by exploring the
representational politics that determine our responses to the
stateless individuals whose numbers are certain to increase in line
with global economic and ecological crises.
Contemporary Asylum Narratives marks a transition from traditional modes of diasporic belonging to the need for identifications that encompass the statelessness of refugees and asylum seekers. This book explores representations of asylum seekers and refugees in twenty-first century literature, film and theatre.
