Bernardine Evaristo’s The Emperor’s Babe: Re-Narrating Roman Britannia; De-Essentializing British National Identity
2014
The essay aims to demonstrate that, by representing the Black group as integral to British history, Bernardine Evaristo's The Emperor’s Babe imaginatively intervenes into the contemporary transmission of European history by unseating the conventional notion of racial purity on which the Western historical archive has been built. The novel thus questions hegemonic notions of Britishness and simultaneously re-inscribes them by offering new inclusive configurations of the British identity. Evaristo’s complex articulation of inter- and intra-gender power relations prevents the novel from developing the ethnic motif in simplistic celebratory terms and simultaneously enables the narrative to intr…
Bernardine Evaristo’s The Emperor’s Babe: De-essentialising Euro-Mediterranean History
2011
Informed by an interpretative framework where the theoretical paradigms of British Cultural studies and Black feminism inextricably interweave, the paper aims at illustrating a complex identity model of the Black British woman as delineated in Anglo-Nigerian writer Bernardine Evaristo’s The Emperor’s Babe (2001). Published at the turn of the 21st century, Evaristo’s second novel-in-verse revolves around the life-experience of a young black woman born of Sudanese parents in Roman London, Zuleika, who ends up having an intense relationship with the Roman Emperor Septimius Severus. In its highly orchestrated narrative fabric where prose and poetry conflate, this unconventional historical novel…
Identità nere e cultura europea. La narrativa di Bernardine Evaristo
2014
Informed by a theoretical-critical grid in which the main hermeneutical paradigms of Gender theories, British cultural studies and Post-colonial studies converge to intersect in an inextricable way with the theories of Black British feminism, Black British cultural studies and of “Critical Mixed Race Studies”, the monograph focuses on the interpretative analysis of the narrative production of Bernardine Evaristo, a London-born Anglo-Nigerian Booker-winner writer, who is now considered one of the most original voices in the contemporary British literary scene. On the basis of a complex theoretical-interpretative paradigm, within which the analytical categories of gender and "race" are concei…

Deconstruction and Re-writing of Englishness and the European Cultural Identity in Bernardine Evaristo's Narrative
2011
If analysed through a theoretical grid whose critical paradigms originate within an analytical area where British cultural studies, gender and postcolonial studies interweave Bernardine Evaristo's fictions shows peculiar narrative strategies – in terms of genre, stylistic experimentation (novels-inverse and a novel-with-verse) and inspiring motifs – which allow her (from the specific perspective of an ANglo-Nigerian London-born wiman writer of mixed origins) to intervene within traditionally hegemonic representational circuits – be they British or European – so contributing to re-write/re-right the notion of English national identity and to re-examine European history from new nonexclusiona…
