Description

Explore the evolution of London through the lens of migration and settlement. Postcolonial London examines how diverse and hybrid communities have reshaped the city, creating new social and cultural activities. This work investigates the imaginative transformation of the metropolis as seen through the eyes of African, Asian, Caribbean, and South Pacific writers from the 1950s to the present day. Through a study of novels, poems, films, and songs, John McLeod provides a fresh look at the literary landscape. The text connects the histories of movement with the creative output that defines the modern city. It is an essential resource for those studying how literature reflects the changing identity of a global capital.
