This is the first text to focus solely on the writing of British
writers of South Asian descent born or raised in Britain. Exploring
the unique contribution of these writers, it positions their work
within debates surrounding black British, diasporic, migrant, and
postcolonial literature in order to foreground both the
continuities and tensions embedded in their relationship to such
terms, engaging in particular with the ways in which this 'new'
generation has been denied the right to a distinctive theoretical
framework through absorption into pre-existing frames of reference.
Focusing on the diversity of contemporary British Asian experience,
the book engages with themes including gender, national and
religious identity, the reality of post-9/11 Britain, the
post-ethnic self, urban belonging, generational difference and
youth identities, as well as indicating how these writers
manipulate genre and the novel form in support of their thematic
concerns. -- .
