Previously considered an avowed nationalist, this book explores how
Ian Fleming's writings and his representational politics contain an
implicit resistance to imperial rhetoric. Through an examination of
Fleming's Jamaica-set novels Live and Let Die, Dr. No, and The Man
with the Golden Gun, as well as the later film adaptations of these
novels, Ian Kinane reveals Fleming's deep ambivalence to British
decolonisation and to wider Anglo-Caribbean relations. Offered here
is a crucial insight into the public imagination during the birth
of modern British multiculturalism that encompasses broader links
between Fleming's writings on race and the representation of early
British-Jamaican cultural relations. By exploring the effects of
racial representation in these popular works, Kinane connects the
novels to more contemporary concerns regarding migration and the
ways in which the misrepresentation of cultures, races, and peoples
has led to fraught and contentious global geo-political relations
as figured in the fictional icon, James Bond.
