The book draws its examples mainly from the Commonwealth, focussing on family and family metaphors, on margins and the power of language to alter them, on tone and the need to pay attention to what we hear. All ironies, however are not the same. New writes about the colonial history that has led to social dismissal and dislocation, and contemplates the challenge of the future of refusing definition which, he argues, we sill have the opportunity to write.
