| description | According to Edward Said, ‘colonialism’ means regional invasion and settlement
(2003, s.8). Post Colonialism can be described as the opposite of colonialism. That
is, those who come from the old colonies may try to invade and settle the region.
What attracted particular attention in the migration movements that took place
after the Second World War is the immigration to England. The post-1950 British
novel is a period in which the writers who migrated from old colonies are more
prevalent. In particular, the former imperial capital, London, is filled with writers
who emigrated from the former colonial countries. These authors describe in their
novels the literary reflections of the identity crisis of British born children who
immigrated to England from the former colonial countries after the Second World
War. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to present how Zaide Smith of Jamaica
and Hanif Kureishi of Pakistan, who immigrated to post-colonial London after
the colonialism, in their novels White Teeth and The Budha of Suberbia, reflect
migratory and cultural problems immigrants and later generations experienced.
This study concludes that, as second generation authors, British-born Kureishi and
Smith, who do not know a homeland other than England, have introduced new
definitions to the British identity and new perspectives on the multicultural British
society. |
