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 $aLITERARY CRITICISM$2bisac 606 $aEuropean / English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh$2bisac 606 $aEnglish literature$xMinority authors$xHistory and criticism$y20th century$zGreat Britain 606 $aEthnic groups 606 $aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism$y20th century$zGreat Britain 606 $aCommonwealth literature (English)$xHistory and criticism$y20th century$zGreat Britain 606 $aPostcolonialism in literature$xHistory$zGreat Britain 606 $aImmigrants in literature$xHistory 606 $aMinorities in literature 606 $aLiterature and society 606 $aPostcolonialism 606 $aCultural pluralism 606 $aEnglish$2HILCC 606 $aEnglish Literature$2HILCC 606 $aLanguages & Literatures$2HILCC 610 $aLiterature 610 $aBlack British people 610 $aBlack people 610 $aCaribbean 610 $aRacism 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM 615 7$aEuropean / English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh 615 0$aEnglish literature$xMinority authors$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aEthnic groups 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aCommonwealth literature (English)$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aPostcolonialism in literature$xHistory 615 0$aImmigrants in literature$xHistory 615 0$aMinorities in literature 615 0$aLiterature and society 615 0$aPostcolonialism 615 0$aCultural pluralism 615 7$aEnglish 615 7$aEnglish Literature 615 7$aLanguages & Literatures 676 $a820.9/3552 700 $aDawson$b Ashley$f1965-$0925035 712 02$aMichigan Publishing (University of Michigan) 801 0$bPQKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455594403321 996 $aMongrel nation$92109053 997 $aUNINA
