In literary and cultural terms, another Britain - largely but not exclusively non-white - is being formulated. How has the changing make-up of population and self-expression found voice in literature and literary fiction? In this wide ranging study of postcolonial 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pluto Press (UK)","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47591593705623,"sku":"9780745306469","price":4456.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780745306469.webp?v=1774973753","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/other-britain-other-british-contemporary-multicultural-fiction-9780745306469","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
