She observes a certain paradox, by which there is \u201can idea of European countries as distinct entities, whose cultures and traditions we may understand or admire\u2026\u201d, but \u201con the other hand, citizens of these countries who come to live in the UK are called \u201cimmigrants\u201d, defined primarily by a relationship to these shores.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This creates an uncomfortable atmosphere, wherein the millions of Europeans who live in the UK and are avid readers in English are seemingly marginalized in favor of \u201creal\u201d Britons. Jarnes claims that \u201cit\u2019s time to acknowledge the connection between the Europe \u2018out there\u2019 and the Europeanness that is actually part of the evolving fabric of British society&#8230;this isn\u2019t straightforward, but it\u2019s essential\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>It turns out that there are already publishers working on this. Saqu Books publishes Muslim voices from the UK and elsewhere, in English and in translation. The Penguin Modern Poets series promotes contemporary international voices and their inter-connections.
