'In their subtle and spacious analyses Annalisa Oboe and Elisa Bordin guide us through Chris Obani's diasporic topographies, researching in the author's aesthetic and ethical mesh a language of redemptive love. Through harrowing, sometimes carnivalesque, often grotesque, even freakish, figures, language reaches into humanity's darkness to counter the world's violence. Across the boundaries, bodies and borders of Abani's charged landscapes the spectres of colonised and subaltern worlds poetically resonate and unwind. Oboe and Bordin urgently engage us in the unsuspected folds of a migratory and mongrelised modernity that queers regimes of identity... a map fading in the harsh sun . Categories, concepts and labels are shaken free from the restrictions of geography. Against the odds, the global souths, the marginalised and oppressed, permeate our cities with the overlapping complexity of love seeded in the violence of extra-ordinary lives: from Lagos to London, Los Angeles and Las Vegas. Iain Chambers -- .
