Centering on Britain as the location of arrival, its readings of canonical and underexplored works of diasporic fiction emanating from Africa, South Asia and the Caribbean foreground the significance of discourses of domesticity in supporting as well as resisting colonialism, racism and xenophobia. Applying an intersectional feminist approach, this book challenges the tendency to view the private sphere as a static, apolitical and uncreative space. Rather, Newns argues, we should regard the domestic home as a key site for contesting the terms of belonging within larger spaces and collectivities, such as the city and the nation. Ultimately, by demonstrating the material importance of homely spaces for non-privileged migrants like women, refugees and LGBTQ+ people, \u003ci\u003eDomestic Intersections\u003c\/i\u003e problematizes the critical suspicion towards home and placement in feminist, postcolonial and queer theory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eLucinda Newns is a lecturer in World Literature at Queen Mary University of London.
