This work is a study of current migration narratives within the disciplines of Anglophone Postcolonial Literature and Digital Humanities. Global culture, the proliferation and pervasiveness of telecommunications technologies and new media, particularly the Internet, have substantially affected the act of narrating. The replacement of traditional written language as the primary means of conveying narrative and storytelling is a distinctive feature in: Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's Americanah (2013); Reni Eddo-Lodge's Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race (2017); Warsan Shire's Home (2011, 2016, 2017, 2022) and the narratives produced within the "Refugee Tales" project. These literary and digital projects might well be considered avant-garde manifestos against racism, in favor of gender equality, female empowerment and a humanitarian plea for the compassionate treatment of migrants, refugees and asylum seekers.
