Bodies That Belong: Race and Space in Elleke Boehmer’s Nile Baby

The article “Bodies That Belong: Race and Space in Elleke Boehmer’s Nile Baby” examines how the novel negotiates issues of race, belonging, embodiment, and spatial politics in a postcolonial context. The author argues that Nile Baby uses the motif of the displaced or uncanny body to explore how racialized subjects navigate spaces marked by colonial histories—particularly Britain and Africa. The article highlights how the novel destabilizes traditional boundaries of identity through hybrid bodies, transnational movements, and reimagined geographies. By tracing the characters’ physical and emotional journeys, the article shows how the novel redefines belonging as a fluid, contested, and spatially embedded process.
