Uncivil and unruly Englishness
Written eighteen years apart Jez Butterworth's play Jerusalem (2010) [Jerusalem. Nick Hern Books] and Angela Carter's final novel Wise Children (1992) [Wise children. Vintage Classics] both attempt to recreate a sense of Englishness for the marginalised ‘under-class’ of post-imperial England without falling prey to nationalist interpretations.

By employing Homi Bhabha's concept of incommensurability in…
Maxine Hong Kingston in conversation with Maggie Ann Bowers
This interview with the most prominent Chinese American writer, Maxine Hong Kingston, provides an insight into the personal ambivalence and the political conflicts amongst Chinese Americans writers regarding cultural authenticity and approaches to cross-culturalism
Acknowledging ambivalence
Toni Morrison exclaimed to Paul Gilroy in 1993 'Just as long as they don't call me a magic realist, as though I don't have a culture to write out of'.

Morrison seeks to address this insecurity by creating an African American cultural memory with her readership through mutual acts of the imagination. In ord…
