This article examines the dynamics regarding the politics of location in transnational African diasporic narratives focusing on Tayeb Salih's novel Season of Migration to the North as a prime example, through the lens of postcolonial and diaspora theories. By drawing from Stuart Hall’s idea of ‘diaspora identity’ as ‘a product’ of multiple changing positions, the analysis examines the protagonist’s struggles with his fragmented sense of place and belonging amid the diasporic realm and environment. Through Avtar Brah’s concepts of ‘homing desire’ and ‘diaspora space’, the article reveals Mustafa’s journeys between Sudan and Britain reflecting the in between spaces and shifting as well as evolving identities that define the diasporic experiences. Utilizing James Clifford’s notion of the contrast between ‘roots and routes’ offer a framework to probe into Mustafa’s efforts to reconcile his heritage with his border movements. Additionally, Homi Bhabha’s notions of ‘unhomeliness’ and ‘hybridity’ are employed to examine deeper Mustafa’s ties to his roots and adopted homeland. The article argues that Salih portrays Mustafa’s displaced subjectivity as representative of the complex dynamics of geography/place faced by uprooted Africans wrestling with questions of identity, belonging and colonial legacies thus contributes in enriching our critical understanding of how African diasporic narratives address these diaspora complexities. |
