Andrea Levy has emerged as one of the most significant and popular
voices in contemporary black British writing both in the UK and
abroad. Drawing on a familial history of emigration, her
critically-acclaimed novels - including the multiple award-winning
"Small Island" - attempt to bring a variety of voices to the
representation of black experience in post-war Britain. This book
is the first of its kind to be devoted to Levy's work. Combining
historical, theoretical and textual perspectives, the volume hosts
a wide range of current critical approaches to Levy's fiction. With
chapters written by leading established and emerging scholars, the
book explores issues of literary form, diasporic literature and
cultural value, the BBC TV adaptation of "Small Island," while also
shedding fresh light on Levy's critically neglected early works.
The book also includes a new interview with Levy herself, a
timeline of her life, chapter summaries, as well as guides to
further reading and online resources, making this an essential
companion to the writings of one of the most exciting voices in
contemporary fiction.
