Diaspora City: The London New Writing Anthology

A cabbie reveals a London of the mind to his passengers. A young Gambian discovers love and betrayal after a chance encounter on the Underground. A waiter from Senegal provides an alphabetic tour of London while elsewhere we encounter young Londoners' experiences in various postal codes. An elderly man finds 'every colour under the sun' in a mixed East End primary school and a gay Cypriot realizes that gay love and traditional marriage don't mix. Diaspora City celebrates the multicultural diversity of London's life. The anthology features new fiction by previously unpublished Londoners and includes specially commissioned works by John Berger, Maggie Gee, Toby Litt, Ben Okri, Iain Sinclair and A. Sivanandan.
