This work is a study of current migration narratives within the disciplines of An-glophone Postcolonial Literature and Digital Humanities. Global culture, the pro-liferation and pervasiveness of telecommunications technologies and new media, particularly the Internet, have substantially affected the act of narrating. The re-placement of traditional written language as the primary means of conveying nar-rative and storytelling is a distinctive feature in: Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Americanah (2013); Reni Eddo-Lodge’s Why I’m No Longer Talking to White People About Race (2017); Warsan Shire’s “Home” (2011, 2016, 2017, 2022) and the narratives produced within the “Refugee Tales” project. These literary and digital projects might well be considered avant-garde manifestos against racism, in favour of gender equality, female empowerment and a humanitarian plea for the compassionate treatment of migrants, refugees and asylum seekers.
