Description

This monograph examines Zadie Smith's novels White Teeth, On Beauty, NW, The Embassy of Cambodia, and Swing Time as trauma fictions that reveal the social, cultural, historical, and political dimensions of trauma. The work begins with Smith's humorous critique of psychoanalysis and her definition of original trauma, then explores how her narratives challenge Western theories of trauma and coping whilst exposing the insidiousness of postcolonial suffering and unbelonging. The volume analyses transgenerational trauma, the tensions between remembering and forgetting, and multidirectional memory within Smith's literary work. Designed for scholars and students of contemporary literature, postcolonial studies, and trauma theory, this Routledge publication offers a rigorous examination of how Smith's fiction engages with complex psychological and cultural experiences of displacement and identity formation.

Key Features

Explores transgenerational trauma and the tensions between remembering and forgetting in postcolonial contexts.
