Babylon, Albion: A Personal History of Myth and Migration

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.
