Opis

This book examines literary texts by British?colonial servant and settler writers, including Anthony Burgess, Graham?Greene, William Golding, and Alan Sillitoe, who depicted the impact of?decolonization in the newly independent colonies and at home in Britain. The?end of the British Empire was one of the most significant and transformative?events in twentieth-century history, marking the beginning of a new world?order and having an indelible impact on British culture and society. Literary?responses to this moment by those from within Britain offer an enlightening?(and often overlooked) exploration of the influence of decolonization on?received notions of "race" and class, while also prefiguring conceptions of?multiculturalism. As Matthew Whittle argues in this sweeping study, these?works not only view decolonization within its global context (alongside the?aftermath of the Second World War, the rise of America, and mass immigration)?but often propose a solution to imperial decline through cultural renewal.??
