The interview explores why Leong considers himself to be more a “man in a blue T-shirt” than a diasporic colonial in exile; how scholars in China view Chinese Americans, and Leong’s response in terms of his life, identity, and poetry; the relation between theory and practice in Leong's work; how Chinese American works as “diasporic”; whether he was “orientalized” by studying Asian Americans; how he would characterize his own work; and how, as a fellow poet, Hart sees Leong's work as a poet and visual artist. The interview ends with Hart’s “Musings on the Interview” and his sample close reading.KEYWORDS: Chinese Americanpoetrydiasporicorientalismeast–west divideRussell Leong Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author.Notes1.

The Black 007 Nomi was played by Black British actress Lashana Lynch with diasporic ethnic and cultural connections to Jamaica. These references are taken up in the film in the context of a late-modern postcolonial Britain. No Time To Die is an interesting case in the Bond film franchise and in scholarly studies of James Bond as it allows us to think through issues of race, gender, representation, and belonging vis-à-vis an ongoing debate amongst Bond mania in the British media around the idea of a Black James Bond. This article examines the representation of Nomi as the Black 007 in this film, focussing on the cultural politics of race, gender, and Black Britishness, alongside the postcolonial and diasporic qualities of her character that the film embraces.","PeriodicalId":44946,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Postcolonial Writing","volume":" 48","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135244561","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both poems engage with the view of the British Muslim woman as a postcolonial flâneuse to switch the role of the western gaze on British Muslim women to a British Muslim woman’s gaze on western cities and crowds. The postcolonial flâneuse highlights the need for inclusion of religious and cultural identity and consciousness that effects the existence, observation, and ideas of women strollers from marginalized groups and identities in the city. The poems are intended to contribute to wider discussions of re-examining the dominant model of flânerie in the context of colonial legacies within current society, such as class, race, and gender privilege and how the postcolonial flâneuse readdresses and destabilizes these within the “western hierarchy” framework.Additional informationNotes on contributorsRamisha RafiqueRamisha Rafique is a Nottingham Trent University (NTU) Vice Chancellor Bursary-funded PhD candidate at NTU. Her creative-critical doctoral thesis explores the ontology of the postcolonial flâneuse, considering, class, language, religion, and global technological advancements. Her research interests include Islamophobia, British Muslim women’s writing, and flânerie. Ramisha’s poetry has featured in Bystander (Laundrette Books, 2017) and on the NTU Postcolonial Studies Centre website more recently (2021).","PeriodicalId":44946,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Postcolonial Writing","volume":"2011 7","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135636746","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The capital occupies the centre of Britain’s post-imperial imaginary and its literary economy, with Manchester at the fore of attempts to address cultural inequalities, from George Osborne’s Northern Powerhouse agenda to regional outposts of the BBC and major publishers. Amidst increasing decentralizing momentum, this article proposes that literary awards are key in what James Procter and Corinne Fowler call the “devolution” of Black British writing. Focusing on Manchester’s Portico Prize for the book that “best evokes the spirit of the North of England”, I trace the award’s approach to “racial diversity” and “the North” since 1985, identifying a creative economy framework in which a “placed” literary northernness exists in tension with the centralized Black British discourse. Overall, this article suggests that literary awards articulate in new ways the spatial imbalances within Britain’s literary and political economies.","PeriodicalId":44946,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Postcolonial Writing","volume":"19 8","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135322830","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Documenting the unarchivable: <i>Minor Detail</i> and the archive of senses","authors":"Ella Elbaz","doi":"10.1080/17449855.2023.2256488","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/17449855.2023.2256488","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTThis article is a close reading of Adania Shibli’s Tafṣīl thānawī (Minor Detail), focusing on the novel’s poetic techniques of narrating Palestinian history. This article shows how, in order to break away from the reliance on perpetrators’ testimonies, Shibli creates a repository of unverifiable, seemingly negligible details that ultimately construct the historical event as a continuous phenomenon that lasts until today. Once accessible via present realities, the authoritative archive is rendered unnecessary. Privileging description over action, Tafṣīl thānawī turns minor, tangible details into indispensable pieces of the historical puzzle. This article illuminates why Tafṣīl thānawī does not simply embody the voice of the colonized, but challenges what we deem worth documenting and inserts into the historical discourse the sights, smells, and sounds of undocumented experiences. As such, Shibli provides an alternative method of documenting the past, one that classifies the unarchivable: sensory experiences and a vanishing landscape.KEYWORDS: Palestinian literaturePalestinian historyAdania Shiblicolonial archivessexual violence in Israel/PalestineTafṣīl thānawī (Minor Detail) Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author.Notes1. I am working with the Arabic original. However, all quotations in the article are from Elisabeth Jaquette’s English translation, Minor Detail (Shibli Citation2020).2. I thank the participants of the 2022 seminar of the Martin Buber Society of Fellows of the Hebrew University and the Van Leer Institute Workshop “Is There an Israeli History without Palestinian History?” for their significant contributions to this article.3. For other examples of historiography of Palestinians based on oral testimonies, see, Dina Matar (Citation2010) and Rosemarie M. Esber (Citation2008).4. Nora Parr (Citation2018) convincingly critiques this widespread depiction of trauma narrative.5. Fatima Aamir (Citation2022) and Shir Alon (Citation2019) also compare Hartman’s “Venus” to Shibli’s work.Additional informationNotes on contributorsElla ElbazElla Elbaz is an assistant professor in the Department of Arabic Language and Literature at the University of Haifa.
