Ashley Dawson argues that during the past fifty years Asian and black intellectuals from Sam Selvon to Zadie Smith have continually challenged the United Kingdom’s exclusionary definitions of citizenship, using innovative forms of cultural expression to reconfigure definitions of belonging in the postcolonial age. By examining popular culture and exploring topics such as the nexus of race and gender, the growth of transnational politics, and the clash between first- and second-generation immigrants, Dawson broadens and enlivens the field of postcolonial studies.LITERARY CRITICISMbisacEuropean / English, Irish, Scottish, WelshbisacEnglish literatureMinority authorsHistory and criticism20th centuryGreat BritainEthnic groupsEnglish literatureHistory and criticism20th centuryGreat BritainCommonwealth literature (English)History and criticism20th centuryGreat BritainPostcolonialism in literatureHistoryGreat BritainImmigrants in literatureHistoryMinorities in literatureLiterature and societyPostcolonialismCultural pluralismEnglishHILCCEnglish LiteratureHILCCLanguages & LiteraturesHILCCLiteratureBlack British peopleBlack peopleCaribbeanRacismLITERARY CRITICISMEuropean / English, Irish, Scottish, WelshEnglish literatureMinority authorsHistory and criticismEthnic groupsEnglish literatureHistory and criticismCommonwealth literature (English)History and criticismPostcolonialism in literatureHistoryImmigrants in literatureHistoryMinorities in literatureLiterature and societyPostcolonialismCultural pluralismEnglishEnglish LiteratureLanguages & Literatures820.9/3552Dawson Ashley1965-925035Michigan Publishing (University of Michigan)PQKBBOOK9910455594403321Mongrel nation2109053UNINA
