Liverpool is a unique and diverse city and this event explores some of the ways in which the communities which have made their home in Liverpool have established their identities in a city which saw itself in the run up to the City of Culture 2008 as ‘The World in One City’.
This process continues to be a fraught one, shaped by the experience of conflict in communities and countries of origin and often with civic authorities in Liverpool itelf. The event provides a unique insight into what it means to be a citizen of the city of Liverpool and it explores the mobility of memories across languages, spaces and cultures.
Programme:
1.00pm Julian Saccomani (University of Georgia): ‘Printing an Identity: Italian Immigrant Newspaers in Brasil and Argentina and the Negotiation of Identity’
1.40pm Dr Kathy Burrell (University of Liverpool): ‘Polish Stories from the “World in One City” on the Eve of Brexit#
2.20pm Mr David Harrison (University of Leeds): ‘Yemeni, Muslim and Scouse: Constructions of an “invisible” British Arab-Diaspora Community
