About: The Emigrants (Lamming novel)

Property	Value
dbo:abstract	The Emigrants is a 1954 novel by Barbadian writer George Lamming, a sequel to his debut autobiographical book In the Castle of My Skin, following the life of the same protagonist as he travels from Barbados to England in search of better prospects and opportunities. Lamming "experimented with the form of the novel as he sought to portray an original historical experience: the immigration of Caribbean peoples to Britain." The Emigrants was first published in London by Michael Joseph and in the United States by McGraw Hill. It was reissued in 1980 by Allison and Busby, and was subsequently published by the University of Michigan Press, described as "an elaborately conceived novel, dense with dynamic characters and evocative details" that "focuses initially on the emigrant journey, then on the settling-in process. The journey by sea and subsequent attempts at resettlement provide the fictional framework for Lamming's exploration of the alienation and displacement caused by colonialism." (en)
