Rethinking Race and Identity in Contemporary British Fiction

<p>This book takes a post-racial approach to the representation of race in contemporary British fiction re-imagining studies of race and British literature away from concerns with specific racial groups towards a more sophisticated analysis of the contribution of a broad post-racial British writing. Speaking to the specific contexts of British cultural politics and directly connecting with contemporary debates surrounding race and identity in Britain the author engages with a wide range of both mainstream and neglected authors. This volume explores how contemporary fiction is at the centre of re-thinking how we engage with the question of race in twenty-first-century Britain.</p>
