Alexander. 264 1 $a Newcastle upon Tyne, UK : $b Cambridge Scholars Publishing, $c 2024. 300 $a 99 pages ; $c 22 cm 520 $a "Black British writing in the decades after the Windrush generation was marked by a significant change: more immigrant women were published in the UK in these decades than ever before. This book is a collection of essays examining the texts of some of these women writers. Included are essays on Black British women writers, such as Warshan Shire, Eintou Pearl Springer, Beryl Gilroy, Buchi Emecheta, and Barbara Jenkins, which span the literary period from the 1970s to the early 2000s. The essays in this collection propose that these women writers represent the voices of another subgenre of Black British writing, and they are connected - through immigration or temporary migration - to the UK. Yet, they also remain firmly attached to their geographical and cultural origins. The essays included in this collection explore what it means to be a Black British woman writer, and how members of this group were able to conceptualise 'home' in their fiction." -- $c Publisher's description. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 505 00 $t The end of the immigrant narrative / $r Camille S.
