Lose Your Father
In July 2019 I attended a performance of Caryl Phillips's play Strange Fruit at the Bush Theatre in London. My colleague Bénédicte Ledent and I were on our way back to Belgium after having participated in the annual Conference of the Society for Caribbean Studies in Preston, Britain.

Afrasian Entanglements and Generic Ambiguities in Sultan Somjee’s Bead Bai
This article looks at Sultan Somjee’s Bead Bai (2012) which focuses on Sakina, a member of the Satpanth Ismaili community living in mid-twentieth century Kenya.

Possessed by whiteness
Drawing on whiteness studies and psychoanalytical theory, this article explores representations of interracial relationships as a means to claim and/or contest the ideal of whiteness in Mohsin Hamid's The Reluctant Fundamentalist. In Hamid's novel, the 9/11 attacks trigger a crisis in self-identification for model-minority Pakistani protagonist Changez, which proves illuminating in terms of the invisible racial subjugation exerted so far upon him…
