Britain's experiences with industrialization, colonialism, post-colonialism, global capitalism, and the European Union (EU) have had a marked influence on British ideas about and British literature's depiction of the city and urban contexts. Recent British fiction focuses in particular on cities as intertwined with globalization and global capitalism (including the proliferation of media) and with issues of immigration and migration. Indeed, decolonization has brought large numbers of people from former colonies to Britain, thus making British cities ever more diverse. Such mixing of peoples in urban areas has led to both racist fears and possibilities of cosmopolitan co-existence. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 00 $g 11. $g Introduction: Twenty-First-Century British Fiction and the City / $r Philip Tew. $g 2. $t Trauma, Negativities, and the City in Trezza Azzopardi's Remember Me / $r Nick Bentley -- $g 3. $t The Cosmopolitan Potential of Urban England?: Jon McGregor's If Nobody Speaks of Remarkable Things / $r Magali Cornier Michael -- $g 4. $t "We Exist Only in the Reflection of Others": Imagining London's History in Bernardine Evaristo's The Emperor's Babe / $r Nicola Allen -- $g 5. $t Gated Communities and Dystopia in J.G.
