{"product_id":"other-britain-other-british","title":"Other Britain, Other British","description":"Britain may have ceded empire and colonies, but its colonial past permeates every corner of the land - from street-names and restaurants to second and third generation 'immigrant' communities - embracing a diversity of peoples from the Caribbean, Asia, Africa, Australia and New Zealand. In literary and cultural terms, another Britain - largely but not exclusively non-white - is being formulated. How has the changing make-up of population and self-expression found voice in literature and literary fiction?\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn this wide ranging study of postcolonial and immigrant writing in Britain, ten contributors - including Booker shortlist nominee Abdulrazak Gurnah - examine the extent to which Britain's colonial heritage has shaped present-day formulations of British culture. Covering the work of key writers - including Timothy Mo, V.S. Naipaul, Salman Rushdie, Caryl Phillips, Hanif Kureishi, Kazuo Ishiguro and David Dabydeen - this collection explores how such writers bring very different critical sensibilities to bear on literary conventions. Also examined are the literary contributions of writers from Jewish Britain, Irish-Britain and Australasian Britain.","brand":"Pluto Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56747016814936,"sku":"9780745306469","price":44.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/other-britain-other-british","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
