Multi-Ethnic Britain 2000+ - New Perspectives in Literature, Film and the Arts (Hardcover)

"Multi-Ethnic Britain 2000+" provides an encompassing survey of artistic responses to the changes in the British cultural climate in the early years of the 21st century. It traces topical reactions to new forms of racism and religious fundamentalism, to legal as well as illegal immigration, and to the threat of global terror; yet it also highlights new forms of intercultural communication and convivial exchange. Framed by contributions from novelists Patrick Neate and Rajeev Balasubramanyam, "Multi-Ethnic Britain 2000+" showcases how artistic representations in literature, film, music and the visual arts reflect and respond to social and political discourses, and how they contribute to our understanding of the current (trans)cultural situation in Britain. The contributions in this volume cover a wide range of writers such as Graham Swift, Ian McEwan, Zadie Smith, Jackie Kay, Nadeem Aslam, Gautam Malkani, Nirpal Dhaliwal and Monica Ali; films ranging from Gurinder Chadha s "Bend It Like Beckham" and "Bride and Prejudice" to Michael Winterbottom s "In This World" and Alfonso Cuaron s "Children of Men"; paintings and photography by innovative black and Asian British Artists; and dubstep music.
