- W2288215717 abstract "Zadie Smith’s White Teeth and Monica Ali's Brick Lane are two recent major contributions to Diaspora Literature. Both the novels deal with immigrant Londonersthe gap between their aspirations and achievements, the clash between native cultures and foreign ambiences, the need for assimilation and the fear of dissolution, the reaction of the nationalists and the emergence of the religious fundamentalists. White Teeth, with its North London setting, presents a multiracial society with immigrants from different cultural and religious backgrounds, whereas Brick Lane having East London as it setting recreates the life of Bangladeshi immigrants living there. Though these novels have articulated some common immigrant issues, they substantially differ from each other in their narrative perspectives, which in turn have influenced their tone, characterization, use of language and dealings with contents. The narrator in White Teeth is a neutral outsider observer always keeping her tongue in cheeks; she takes a bird's eye view of the North-West on and finds the impossibility of meaningful communication among the people of different racial backgrounds. In Brick Lane, in contrast, the narrator is more than a neutral photographer; she is an experiencing consciousness. To see things from a female perspective, the narrator takes on Nazneen's point of view most of the time; she appropriates the English language to incorporate words and idioms from native language to bring a regional tonality to the novel. In this article I will compare these two novels to show how Monica Ali's microscopic view going deeper into personal relations of migrant population, and Smith's wide-ranging perspective capturing the interaction among people from diverse racial background, present us a composite picture of contemporary London society." @default.
