Is immigration causing all that trouble !? UK ELECTIONS

'A quarter of Britons think the government should encourage immigrants and their families to leave. That's people like Mehdi Hasan. He argues that while hostility to outsiders may not be a new phenomenon, the so-called immigration debate is now toxically out of control. Anti-immigration sentiment isn't a result of increased immigration, but fear and prejudice

The Great Return

Hey Literary bugs! 

So firstly apologies for this long awaited post. Being in my final year in university has been very exasperating, meaning I haven't had the chance to do my second favourite thing after reading. However that will all change soon!  Summer is on its way and so are your weekly posts, and maybe a few more because I have been abate. These past few months have been very informing. My dissertation was about black women and their role in literature so I had to do a great deal of research not only on history but particularly black women in history, I am hoping this information will percolate into my blog. Although this blog began as platform for discussing literature, I am hoping to see it mature this summer into a blog not only interested in postcolonial literature, but a platform which also considers political and social aspects of postcolonial culture. I will also consider African-American literature which although isn't often considered under postcolonial genre, is very closely attached for obvious reasons... for those of you confused I am referring the connotations attached to having a darker complexion. So I look forward to beginning that! 

To direct this blog in the direction highlighted in the latter. Lets begin with Kendrick Lamar's album To Pimp a Butterfly which is a LITERARY MASTER PIECE. Don't forget music is poetry in its own right ... well at least good music. Lamar's album is a legendary piece of work which uses the popular platform of HipHop to educate, which in itself is beautiful, haven't seen that kind of work since Tupac. I hope to do a more detailed piece on his album, but so I don't leave you feeling ravenous for knowledge, attached at the bottom please find a article about his album and a link to his album which you can listen to on youtube.

Lastly, I promise to try my best to abide to each of the 'hopes' stated in this piece, 

Peace and happy reading and listening !
