About the Book: The notion of 'home' in the postmodern world assumes a state of constant flux, characterised by instability rather than permanence. The concepts of memory and identity play a pivotal role in this fluid hybridisation of the discourses of cultural purity and rootedness. The novelists discussed in this book feel utterly at home in England and scrupulously distance themselves from the homogenised, bounded and monolithic notions of community, seeking to evolve an anti-essentialist model of an all-inclusive Britishness, which fosters an understanding that all identities are in the process of transition, pursuing a pluralistic vision of human culture. At Home in England is an attempt to explore these diverse dimensions of home in England as a specific diasporic point in which the individuals, migrating from different parts of the world, seek to rebuild a lost home, reconfiguring the inner landscape of their mind. The book will prove invaluable to students of Literature, Philosophy and Cultural Studies.
