Description:
This book offers a reassessment of current approaches to postwar writing in Britain in light of ongoing debates about the legacy of imperialism and decolonization, the cultural implications of globalization, and the strengthening of alternative conceptions of national identity across the UK. Graham MacPhee discusses a wide range of writers from W.H. Auden to Linto Kwsi Johnson and from Sam Selvon to Ian McEwan. He provides case studies of postwar texts, explores critical terms like 'migrancy' and 'hybridity', and ultimately shows how postwar writers infused the experimentalism of prewar modernism with other cultural traditions in order to represent both the pain and the pleasures of multiculturalism.
