Mobility Humanities

Roger Bromley’s Narratives of Forced Mobility and Displacement in Contemporary Literature and Culture studies different narrative modalities in order to assess different perspectives of those displaced. Multiple gazes from the Global South are examined through different narratives: novel, film, memoir/testimonial and graphic novels, some of which were written by or produced with the collaboration of the displaced persons. The selection of the primary texts and the choice of the theoretical lens are aimed at redirecting the current anti-refugee rhetoric that has been over-represented within Euro-centric discourse. Divided into six chapters, the book seeks to unlearn the discourse and offer a number of alternative views narrated from the perspective of the subaltern of the Global South.
