Postwar British Literature and Postcolonial Studies Graham MacPhee

Key Features * Explores concepts and critical terms such as 'British national literature', 'new ethnicities', 'migrancy' and 'hybridity' * Case studies of postwar texts include: Sam Selvon's The Lonely Londoners, John Arden's Serjeant Musgrave's Dance, Linton Kwesi Johnson's Dread Beat an' Blood, Tony Harrison's V, Kazuo Ishiguro's The Remains of the Day, Leila Aboulela's Minaret and Ian McEwan's Saturday

Postwar British Literature and Postcolonial Studies Avis

Graham MacPhee brilliantly follows the historical tracks of empire into the heartlands of post-war British literature, an area often assumed to be relatively untouched by colonial impacts and their contingent modernist entanglements. This timely and necessary study lays bare how colonial cultural legacies are everywhere palpable within this landscape. -- Elleke Boehmer, Professor of World Literature in English, University of Oxford
