This study analyses four new genres of literature and film that have evolved to accommodate and negotiate the changing face of postcolonial Britain since 1990. It reads shifting genre boundaries as a means of understanding shifting constructions of Britishness, arguing that both genres and nations have unstable boundaries that are, at least imaginatively, redrawn when the implications of postcolonial texts and contexts are taken into consideration. Questions of categorisation are always political, as borders are redrawn and criteria of inclusion and exclusion are negotiated, so genre fiction and film provide a unique space for exploring a contested national identity. 505 0 $a Introduction: Remapping borders: postcolonial Britain and literary/cinematic genres -- British Muslim bildungsromane -- Gothic tales of postcolonial England -- The subcultural urban novel -- Multicultural British comedy/the comedy of multicultural Britain -- Conclusion: Genre revisited. 650 0 $a English literature $y 21st century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Postcolonialism in literature. 650 0 $a Postcolonialism in motion pictures. 650 0 $a National characteristics, British, in literature. 650 0 $a National characteristics, British, in motion pictures. 650 0 $a Postcolonialism and the arts $z Great Britain. 650 0 $a Postcolonialism $z Great Britain $x History $y 21st century. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180119032354.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826040317.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DA51AFBE6B5311E69AFE1DDBDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
