Roger Bromley is Professor of Cultural Studies and Director of the Humanities Graduate School at Nottingham Trent University, Author of Lost Narratives: Popular Fictions, Politics and Recent History.
An excellent example of how to discuss a wide range of literature without being paralysed by theory. ! Bromley's book is a timely reminder of the way in which phenomena such as diaspora, which are so important in postcolonial writing and theorizing, are nevertheless not simply reducible to the concerns of postcolonialism. One of the book's definite strengths is the way it avoids obvious or easy choices in its selection of authors and texts. The result is an illuminating discussion.
