This book explores the discourse by and about refugees and asylum seekers in relation to memory with a particular focus on the United Kingdom. A series of studies using different analytical approaches is undertaken, and together the studies shed light on this overlooked area of research. The studies or ¿facets¿ presented in the monograph cover a range of contexts and discursive genres: a joint BBC/refugee-authored television documentary, refugees¿ oral histories, creative life writing by asylum seekers, parliamentarians¿ debates, a reworking of canonical texts and sites in a protest campaign, and non-fiction testimonies and fictional works by later generations of refugee background. The monograph introduces ¿facet methodology¿ to memory studies, arguing that this approach could encourage interdisciplinary research in the field.
