- Inhalt
- In his essay “‘Commonwealth Literature’ Does Not Exist,” Salman Rushdie devises the idea of ‘writers from elsewhere’ referring to those contemporary novelists, poets and playwrights who, although often not born into the English language, have chosen it as the medium of their expression. This new definition, in general, is a reaction to the idea of ‘Commonwealth Literature’ as formal and at times flattering appreciation of a diverse group of writers writing in English.
Sulaiman Addonia is one of the new millennial immigrant writers who is not only known for his transnational outlook and alternative uses of English but also for him writing about the backwards attitude to immigration and refugees, and the systemic racism that runs through our society to this day. He has so far published two novels and a few essays that extensively deal with memory, racism, discrimination, and displacement.
This course will offer an in-depth look at Sulaiman Addonia’s writing from linguistic, historical and cultural perspectives. We will analyse both his novels and essays in the light of Salman Rushdie’s idea of ‘writers from elsewhere.’ However, the primary objective of this course is to introduce Sulaiman Addonia and his writings to students.
