Answer:

<u><em>This paper aims to investigate the migrant experience in Levy's "Back to My Own Country: An Essay" and her short stories "The Diary" and "That Polite Way That English People Have". Levy's stories of migration blend fact with action, where autobiography, history, social commentary and action commingle. The stories manifest certain rewarding as well as negative aspects of migration in that they depict the migrant's desire to attain a fairy-tale world as well as the ironies of the migrant experience. In her narratives, Levy writes not only about her personal story as a second-generation migrant, her Jamaican as well as black-British heritage, her identity conict, racial awareness and racism, and gender bias, but she also gives information and her opinions on slavery, colonialism, the Caribbean migrants of the Wind rush generation and the intermingled history of Britain and the Caribbean. Levy's works can also be regarded as a rewriting of history as she aims to uncover the lost history shared by the Caribbean and Britain, and remedy the amnesia. Levy's use of the motif of "reverse migration" in her narratives helps her achieve this aim, as she moves the story of the Caribbean British from the margin to the center, as a compensation for the past. </em></u>
