| Description | This chapter argues that Francis Newton Souza's art locates the question of home in the male body, allowing it to register the multiple spaces, experiences and anxieties of home that are the result of migration into a British society that was still recovering from war. It addresses one of Souza's self-portraits, which depicts the artist as tense, mute and afflicted by arrows, and explores the extent to which it deals with questions of assimilation and translation that had to be negotiated by migrants seeking to make a home in Britain at this moment. The chapter explores Souza's Crucifixion, placing it in the context of contemporary racial tensions as well as the enduring violence of colonialism and its aftermath to consider how Souza allows the male body to embody the experience of violence and suffering of homes across time and space.
