Rezensionen

Leetsch s book makes a significant contribution to understanding the impact of colonialism and migration on women s writing. It offers timely, alternative perspectives that could broaden discussions about racism, African diaspora and black romance/love in the Journal of Popular Romance Studies. (Susanne Vosmer, Journal of Popular Romance Studies, Vol. 13, 2024)

Leetsch s nuanced handling of how topography, typography, space, and language become intertwined with love, intimacy, desire, and romance is, for me, the most generative contribution. The comparative approach that links spatial and affective thinking represents a valuable starting point for further approaches to contemporary African diasporic literature. (Marco Medugno, Contemporary Women s Writing, September 25, 2023)
