View Rights PortalExplores some of the key venues of black British literary and cultural production across the postwar period: bedsits and basements; streets and cafes; train stations and tourist landscapes; the suburbs and the city; the north and south. Pursues a 'devolving' landscape in order to consider what an analysis of 'dwelling' might contribute to the travelling theories of diaspora discourse and asks what happens when we 'situate' literatures of movement and migration. Offers fresh readings of work by some of the key literary figures of the postwar years, for example, Salman Rushdie, Hanif Kureishi, Meera Syal, Linton Kwesi Johnson. Contextualises writings alongside photography, painting, and film to consider their relationship to broader shifts in the politics of black representation over the past fifty years. Offers sustained anaysis of many of the texts reproduced in Procter's anthology Writing black Britain 1948-98 ( MUP, 2000) making an ideal companion to the earlier book. ;

Hoch über dem Meer in Salé an Marokkos Atlantikküste (neben Rabat) ist noch heute das Grabmal des Sufi-Heiligen Abu Musa zu besichtigen. Abu Musa, ein Asket, und die schöne blonde Schama, die am Hof des Sultans in Fes gelebt hat und mit einem andalusischen Kunsthandwerker verheiratet ist, wohnen in einem heruntergekommenen Handelshaus in der bedeutenden Hafenstadt Salé. Eine Reihe alleinstehender Frauen von zweifelhaftem Ruf hat dort ebenfalls Unterkunft gefunden. Wann? Im 14. Jahrhundert. Abu Musas Nachbarinnen ist ein historischer Roman, erzählt in arabischer Tradition, lebendig, farbig und kenntnisreich, mit überraschenden Wendungen unterwegs und einem Regenwunder zum Schluß, das Abu Musa, unterstützt von Schama und den Frauen, herbeiführt – wofür er bezahlen muß. Ahmed Toufiqs Roman fragt, mitten im Getümmel: Wie sollen wir leben und: was können wir tun? Seine Antwort, muslimisch und menschlich, klingt nach.
