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. 606 $aEnglish literature$xMinority authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aCommonwealth literature (English)$xHistory and criticism 606 $aPostcolonialism in literature 606 $aImmigrants in literature 606 $aMinorities in literature 606 $aLiterature and society$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPostcolonialism$zGreat Britain 606 $aCultural pluralism$zGreat Britain 606 $aEthnic groups$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aEnglish literature$xMinority authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aCommonwealth literature (English)$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aPostcolonialism in literature. 615 0$aImmigrants in literature. 615 0$aMinorities in literature. 615 0$aLiterature and society$xHistory 615 0$aPostcolonialism 615 0$aCultural pluralism 615 0$aEthnic groups$xHistory 676 $a820.9/3552 700 $aDawson$b Ashley$f1965-$0925035 712 02$aMichigan Publishing (University of Michigan) 801 0$bMiU 801 1$bMiU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910265238003321 996 $aMongrel nation$92109053 997 $aUNINA
