"White trash" is a liminal figure that dramatizes the intersection
of race and class. Contemporary British novelists like Irvine
Welsh, Niall Griffiths and John King use this originally
US-American stereotype to interrogate the racializing discourse of
class in British society. Their novels are interdiscursive
reflections of the figurations of race and class that still haunt
the British cultural imaginary. "British White Trash" is the first
analysis to comprehensively examine the adaptation of the "white
trash" stereotype in major British novels. The study thus
contributes to a critical understanding of racism and classism, its
cultural representations and its underlying social processes.
