Abstract
[About the book]
In this wide ranging study of post-colonial and immigrant writing in Britain, ten contributors – including Booker shortlist nominee Abdulrazak Gurnah – examine the extent to which Britain's colonial heritage has shaped present-day formulations of British culture. Covering the work of key writers – including Timothy Mo, V.S. Naipaul, Salman Rushdie, Caryl Phillips, Hanif Kureishi, Kazuo Ishiguro and David Dabydeen – this collection explores how such writers bring very different critical sensibilities to bear on literary conventions. Also examined are the literary contributions of writers from Jewish Britain, Irish-Britain and Australasian Britain.
