Considering socio-political and philosophical ideas about British multiculturalism, superdiversity and conviviality, Ulla Rahbek studies a broad range of texts by writers from across the majority-minority divide. The text focuses on figurative registers and metaphorical richness in multicultural poetry and investigates the interlocked issue of recognition, representation and identity in memoirs. Rahbek analyses how twenty-first-century British multicultural novels both envision and reimagine an inclusive nation and thematise the detrimental effects of individual exclusion on characters' pursuits of the good life. She observes the ways that short stories pivot on ambivalent encounters and intercultural dialogue, and she reflects on the public good of multicultural literature. 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y20th century 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y21st century 606 $aEuropean literature 606 $aLiterature$xPhilosophy 606 $aContemporary Literature 606 $aEuropean Literature 606 $aLiterary Theory 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aEuropean literature. 615 0$aLiterature$xPhilosophy. 615 14$aContemporary Literature. 615 24$aEuropean Literature. 615 24$aLiterary Theory. 676 $a828.10808 676 $a820.935842 700 $aRahbek$b Ulla$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01227562 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484208403321 996 $aBritish Multicultural Literature and Superdiversity$92850151 997 $aUNINA
