Babylon, Albion : A Personal History of Myth and Migration

Omtale

In this striking exploration ofidentity and place, Dalia Al-Dujaili considerswhat it means to belong in your land. Tracing the rich heritage of both the oakand the date palm, Iraqi marshes and Loch Ness monsters, Al-Dujaili marriesArab and Islamic mythology with the English and Christian pastoral. She drawsfrom a rich array of sources to consider in a new light the communal lush, wild– and at times, dark – places we share. A love song to Britain, Iraq and the body of earth we hold in common, Babylon,Albion is an urgent re-imagining of what it means to be native.
