“The finest coat in England”
Andrea Levy’s short story “That Polite Way that English People Have” follows Hortense – later developed into a protagonist from her novel Small Island – on her journey from Jamaica to Britain. Told from a female perspective, the story places a seemingly mundane garment – a coat – at the centre of the action. To examine the symbolism behind the coat that Hortense buys from her white employer and dons before departure, the article draws on works by…
Introduction
Refugeehood—whether triggered by religious intolerance, ethnic strife, political repression, war, or environmental factors—has been a constant throughout human history, but it was not until the twentieth century that refugees were endowed with legal status on an international level [...]

Moda, subalternidad y ecofeminismo en clave socio-literaria
La actual industria de la moda encierra un sistema de producción y consumo en el que la explotación del medioambiente, la explotación de ciertas zonas geográficas y la explotación laboral —principalmente de mano de obra femenina— se interrelacionan de forma indisoluble. Partiendo de una metodología interdisciplinar que combina estudios ecofeministas y aproximaciones sociológicas a la moda en un contexto postcolonial, el presente trabajo persigue …

Introduction
Nature, animals, the landscape and the environment have enjoyed a recurrent presence and have indeed been constant protagonists in Irish literature and culture. The wild isolated island, originally feared or even despised by foreigners, progressively became that romanticised, pre-modern Arcadia imagined by tourists from the early twentieth century onwards. The once desolated and barren landscapes
The Woman & the Animal Trope. A critical selection of contemporary Irish poetry by Manuela Palacios-González, Margarita Estévez-Saá and Noemí Pereira-Ares
In these times of growing ecological awareness, one feels impelled to reflect upon the ways in which contemporary Irish poetry is conceiving and shaping the relationship between human and non-human animal life. Furthermore, social debates about animals’ rights run parallel to inquiries into interconnected forms of oppression and exploitation, as is the case with the
Meera Syal’s “The Traveller”
Committed to the exploration of the female experience—specifically the South Asian female experience—Meera Syal has often woven a feminist subtext into the fabric of her works. This is probably nowhere more evident than in “The Traveller” (1988), an allegorical short story that constitutes Syal’s more sustained effort to produce a feminist text per se. However, whereas Syal’s novels and screenplays have been accorded considerable critical attenti…

Fashion, Dress and Identity in South Asian Diaspora Narratives
Transculturalism and cultural translation in Cauvery Madhavan'sPaddy Indian
Since the mid-20th century, literature in English has witnessed the appearance of a plethora of narratives that map the new territorialities of the Indian diaspora in places such as Britain, America, Canada, Australia or the Caribbean. Cauvery Madhavan's Paddy Indian portrays an Indo-Irish cultural encounter on Irish soil, thus offering a pioneering scenario which echoes Ireland's position as a country of immigration, rather than emigration. This…
Sartorial memories of a colonial past and a diasporic present in Kamala Markandaya’s The Nowhere Man
The fictions of the South Asian diaspora in Britain have recurrently dramatized many of the sartorial confrontations, negotiations, and creative exchanges resulting from the interaction between Britons and South Asians on British soil. Some of them have also looked back to “clothing matters” (Tarlo, 1996) in colonial India, thus establishing a dialogue between the sartorial past and present of the protagonists. This is arguably nowhere more evide…
The politics of hijab in Monica Ali’s Brick Lane
In Brick Lane, Monica Ali problematizes the practice of hijab both implicitly and explicitly. To this end, the British Bangladeshi writer does not simply open the discussion within the fictional world of the novel. She also creates a series of characters whose dressed bodies silently project a broad spectrum of attitudes towards hijab, attitudes that range from the rejection to the ardent celebration of such a practice. Relying on socio-cultural …
