Description

Explore the complex relationship between literature and identity with this Routledge monograph. This academic study examines Zadie Smith's major works, including White Teeth, On Beauty, NW, The Embassy of Cambodia, and Swing Time. By analyzing these texts as trauma fictions, the book reveals the social, cultural, historical, and political dimensions of suffering. The text begins with a critique of psychoanalysis and Smith's own definition of original trauma. It investigates how her narratives challenge Western theories regarding coping mechanisms and trauma. Readers will gain insight into how Smith exposes the realities of (post)colonial suffering and the feeling of unbelonging. This volume is an essential resource for those studying transgenerational trauma and the tensions between remembering and forgetting in contemporary literature.
