1. Introduction: Migration, Mobility and the Redefinition of National Literatures in a Global Context -- 2. A Cosmopolitan Revision of the Postcolonial 'Home' in Caryl Phillips's A Distant Shore and Foreigners -- 3. From Exilic to Mobile Identities: Colum McCann's Let the Great World Spin and the Cosmopolitanisation of Irish Reality -- 4.

Solidarity through the Bare Life of Migrants and "noeuds de memoire" in Rose Tremain's The Colour and The Gustav Sonata -- 7. 'A map of bird migration': Redefinitions of National Identity through Transnational Mobility and Multidirectional Memory in Evelyn Conlon's Not the Same Sky -- 8. Concluding Remarks: Timespace and Affective Networks in Contemporary Fictions of Migration.

This book examines how the transcultural and transnational migration of people, texts, and ideas has transformed the paradigm of national literature, with Britain and Ireland as case studies. The study questions definitions of migration and migrant literature that focus solely on the work of authors with migrant backgrounds, and suggests that migration is not extraneous but intrinsic to contemporary understandings of national literature in a global context. The fictional work of authors such as Caryl Phillips, Colum McCann, Abdulrazak Gurnah, Rose Tremain, Elif Shafak, and Evelyn Conlon is analysed from a variety of perspectives, including transculturality, cosmopolitanism, and Afropolitanism, so as to emphasise how their work fosters an understanding of national literature, as well as of individual and collective identities, based on transborder interconnectivity.
