Women's Perspectives on (Post)Migration

Between Literature, Arts and Activism – Between Africa and Europe

Summary

This volume takes a closer look at women’s perspectives on (post-)migration and explores the uncertainties, frictions, struggles and opportunities emerging from that context. It revolves around African and Afrodescendant female writers and artists and refers to the uncomfortable stories they tell, stories about what it means to have migrated to, live in, or have been born in Romance-speaking Europe. Their voices reveal positionings of the ‘female Other’ that oscillate between alienation and belonging, moving between African, European and other (diasporic) spaces. The scholarly articles, from the disciplines of literary and cultural studies, explore literature, theatre, film and the internet and cover a variety of countries and Romance languages. The volume engages simultaneously in a dialogue with writers and activists: it includes short and micro stories by Melibea Obono and Ubah Cristina Ali Farah as well as interviews with Amina Marini, Mimina Icir Di Muro and Aminata Aidara, Kaha Mohamed Aden, Igiaba Scego and Desirée Bela-Lobedde.
