- W2900260009 abstract "C ontem porary British m igrant literature writes back to the legacies o f im perialismw hile also being firm ly grounded in the present cultural m om ent. A pproaching thereading o f late tw entieth and early tw enty-first century British m igrant narratives froma postcolonial perspective, this research project sets out to deliver a critical assessm ento f the m ajor them es and preoccupations o f fiction w ritten at the m etropolitan centrethat w rites back to im perialism and its legacies, w hile also exploring in detail questionso f cultural identity in the present. The critical approach to the interrogation o f thisresearch question is theoretically grounded in the discipline o f postcolonial literarycriticism , w hile also taking cognisance o f im portant scholarship in the field o f culturalstudies. The central research question probes the diverse ways in w hich contem poraryauthors depict im m igrant experience am ongst first and subsequent generationm igrants in Britain. The project considers m yriad m om ents o f intersection and overlapthat occur across a diverse selection o f contem porary, L ondon-based narratives o fm igrant experience. Authors o f Black, A sian and Irish ethnicities are read in dialecticexchanges with one another on topics ranging from belonging and exclusion, toidentity, to m arginalisation and violence, and the nature o f traum a and m em ory. Theaim in reading novels from authors o f different ethnic backgrounds is to establish theextent to w hich m igrant experience is sim ilar or differs am ong diverse ethnic groups.In the project I assert that the im m igrant figure can be seen as a lonely voice inliterature, therefore a central aim o f the project is to pay attention to w hat this voicehas to say. I argue that an exploration o f the plight o f the im m igrant can inform usabout the problem s o f m odem society, including loneliness, isolation, and thebreakdow n o f com m unity and lack o f integration. Thus the project is at tim esinterdisciplinary in term s o f its theoretical fram ew ork. A lthough postcolonial theoryis the foundation o f the main thesis, the argum ents also draw on other areas o fknow ledge that inform postcolonial studies, such as psycho geography and m em orystudies" @default.
