It traces topical reactions to new forms of racism and religious fundamentalism, to legal as well as ‘illegal’ immigration, and to the threat of global terror; yet it also highlights new forms of intercultural communication and convivial exchange. Framed by contributions from novelists Patrick Neate and Rajeev Balasubramanyam, Multi-Ethnic Britain 2000+ showcases how artistic representations in literature, film, music and the visual arts reflect and respond to social and political discourses, and how they contribute to our understanding of the current (trans)cultural situation in Britain. The contributions in this volume cover a wide range of writers such as Graham Swift, Ian McEwan, Zadie Smith, Jackie Kay, Nadeem Aslam, Gautam Malkani, Nirpal Dhaliwal and Monica Ali; films ranging from Gurinder Chadha’s Bend It Like Beckham and Bride and Prejudice to Michael Winterbottom’s In This World and Alfonso Cuarón’s Children of Men ; paintings and photography by innovative black and Asian British Artists; and dubstep music.Internationale Forschungen zur allgemeinen und vergleichenden Literaturwissenschaft ;121.Arts and societyGreat BritainHistory21st centuryCongressesEnglish literatureMinority authorsHistory and criticismCongressesEthnic artsGreat BritainHistory21st centuryCongressesMinorities in artCongressesMinorities in literatureCongressesMinorities in motion picturesCongressesMulticulturalism in artCongressesMulticulturalismGreat BritainCongressesGreat BritainCultural policyCongressesArts and societyHistoryEnglish literatureMinority authorsHistory and criticismEthnic artsHistoryMinorities in artMinorities in literatureMinorities in motion picturesMulticulturalism in artMulticulturalism306.09Eckstein Lars803458MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910807642203321Multi-ethnic Britain 2000+4019672UNINA07806nam 2200469 450 991082180010332120231004065659.01-78969-213-X(CKB)4100000012027295(MiAaPQ)EBC6728867(Au-PeEL)EBL6728867(EXLCZ)99410000001202729520220601d2019 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierExecution by Styrax in ancient Thasos /Anagnostis P.
