Handbook

This subject provides a selective survey of works reflecting the increasing experience of globalisation, cross-cultural encounters, diaspora and migration. In this way, the subject addresses urgent questions around the increased mobility, connectedness and dispossession experienced by much of the world’s population. The subject will explore the dynamics of colonisation and decolonisation as well as related phenomena including migration in all its forms, from exile, displacement and seeking refuge to economic mobility. You will read texts, including prose fiction, poetry, and film, from a range of global contexts, such as Africa, Asia, the Middle East, North America and Australia.
