Brexit and the Migrant Voice
Brexit and the Migrant Voice provides a platform for the perspectives of European citizens and migrants living and working in the UK by assessing their representation in British and European cultural productions (literature, drama, the media) and by foregrounding their attitudes, their fears, and their concerns about Brexit. The book looks at Brexit through the eyes of Britain’s European citizens (‘Europe in Britain’), while also looking at European perceptions of Britain as a nation (‘Britain in Europe’), via a geographical journey – from West to East –across Europe. The book assesses how these countries, their citizens, and their cultural productions engage with the questions...

Biodiversity
The term "biodiversity" or "biological diversity" describes the variety of living beings on Earth encompassing microorganisms, plants, animals, and ecosystems, such as coral reefs, forests, and deserts. In fact, it also represents a wealth of biological resources available to us. Today, instead of exploring and preserving its unmapped biodiversity, mankind has gone away from mother nature, conquering the domain through relentless exploitation. This has resulted in an ecological imbalance and thereby has posed serious threat to biodiversity. Declining biodiversity is, therefore, a concern for countless reasons. Biodiversity’s wealth of genetic information can be conserved by storing biologi...
New Answers to Old Questions
Outside Myanmar, the 2021 coup d’état has often been portrayed as the end of a hopeful period for the country. In this Adelphi book, however, Aaron Connelly and Shona Loong argue that the Aung San Suu Kyi government that preceded it was a false dawn, unlikely to fulfil the international community's aspirations for a stable, peaceful and strong Myanmar. Instead, the movement opposing the 2021 coup holds much greater promise – despite the bloody conflict that dominates the news today. Connelly and Loong survey three fundamental relationships that have shaped Myanmar before and after the coup – between the military and the state, between the majority Burmese and ethnic minorities, and between Myanmar and the world – to explain how opposition to the coup has shifted all of them in a more liberal, pluralist and cosmopolitan direction.
Magical Realism in Twenty-First-Century Transnational Fiction
Magical Realism in Twenty-First-Century Transnational Fiction: The Global Supernatural offers a much-needed re-evaluation of magical realism, moving beyond traditional postcolonial frameworks to explore its vibrant evolution in the 21st century. Analysing the works of contemporary authors like Helen Oyeyemi, Mohsin Hamid, Preeta Samarasan and Junot Díaz, this book explores how magical realism has been adapted to depict the complex, fluid identities and experiences of migrants and their children in a globalised world. By employing the psychoanalytic concept of relationality, it examines the intricate interplay between cultures, beliefs and personal narratives. Challenging outdated notions of ‘magic’ versus ‘realism’, this study reveals how the supernatural is used to express the disorientation, paradox and trauma of transnational lives. This book is essential for anyone seeking to understand the enduring creative power of magical realism.
