Whoever said nature is still has not borne witness to the migration of the seasons.
In this striking exploration of identity and place, Dalia Al-Dujaili, a daughter of both Babylon and Albion, considers what it means to belong? in your land. Tracing both the oak and the date palm, and marsh and Loch Ness monsters, Al-Dujaili marries Arab and Islamic mythology with the English and Christian pastoral. She draws from a rich array of sources to illustrate the communal lush, wild and at times, dark places we share.
Babylon, Albion is a natural antidote to manmade hostile environments?. A love song to Britain, Iraq and the body of earth we hold in common, it offers both a new way of seeing the world and celebrates how we find our own ways through it.
