Border Anxieties and The Politics of BrexLit
This article discusses a recent genre of Brexlit – literary works that have anticipated or directly responded to the Brexit referendum in 2016 – and its contribution to the cartography of political writing in Europe. The events preceding and following the Brexit vote witnessed a flourishing cultural and literary activity. What is now discussed under the category of ‘Brexlit’ encompasses a growing thematic and generic richness - state-of-the-natio…
Eastern Europeans” and BrexLit
This article examines the representations of “Eastern European” migration in contemporary BrexLit, focusing on Adam Thorpe’s Missing Fay (2017), Amanda Craig’s The Lie of the Land (2017), Carla Grauls’s Occupied (2012), Andrew Muir’s The Session (2015), and Agnieszka Dale’s short stories. Drawing on Paul Gilroy’s work on postcolonial melancholia, and extending Kristian Shaw’s “BrexLit” definition by focusing on stereotyping, it shows how the figu…
Eastern Europeans in Contemporary Literature and Culture

Belated alliances? Tracing the intersections between postcolonialism and postcommunism
Post-1989 eastern Europe, despite generating in the past two decades numerous studies drawing on Edward Said's Orientalism and the paradigms of postcolonialism (Todorova 1997; Goldsworthy 1998; Bjelić and Savić 2003; Kovačević, "Orientalizing", 2008), continues to remain neglected and rarely discussed in postcolonial studies. This article traces the intersections between postcommunism and postcolonialism by looking at the emergence of postcolonia…
Melancholic travellers and the idea of (un)belonging in Bernardine Evaristo's Lara and Soul Tourists
This article explores the articulations of (un)belonging in Bernardine Evaristo’s novel-in-verse Lara (1997) and novel-with-verse Soul Tourists (2005). It closely examines the precarious nature of belonging for the “second” generations of black British and their (un)belonging to the national, “originary” racial and generational lines of belonging, and to wider unresolved histories of loss that can be broadly defined as postcolonial and post-imper…
Against Balkanism
How does the life experience of an academic matter and how may it shape the ways in which scholarship is pursued? Starting from this question, the article offers a reading of the use of the discourse of Balkanism in Vesna Goldsworthy's recent memoir Chernobyl Strawberries by placing it in dialogue with her academic work Inventing Ruritania: The Imperialism of the Imagination. Since the late 1990s several important studies have explored the constr…
