This book traces the development of autofiction along with the other directions it has led to, such as autoethnography and autotheory, and explores their textual potentialities to reproduce underrepresented realities of multi-ethnicity. It presents how the hybridity and in-betweenness of these mixed literary novelties mirror the multi-ethnic feeling of being caught between different cultural worlds, and how their ambivalence within literary categorisation provides spaces of inclusion for individuals whose multiple ethnicities transcend the rigid borders of pre-existing racial, national, ethnic and cultural classifications. Despite claiming to focus on authors labelled under "Black British Women", the book shows the ineffectiveness of homogenising categories, yielding implications for the reconsideration of the hegemonic divisions between 'Europeanness' and 'Africanness'.
