Sažetak
This diploma paper analyzes four British postcolonial novels, Andrea Levy’s 'Small Island', Zadie Smith’s 'White Teeth', Hanif Kureishi’s 'The Buddha of Suburbia', and Monica Ali’s 'Brick Lane'. Emphasis is placed on how the selected authors use literary realism to present stories of cultural and social displacement caused by the protagonists’ position as the “Other” within British society. Edward Said’s 'Orientalism' is used as a theoretical background, as well as to explain the uneven treatment of “Commonwealth literature” when compared to 'proper' English literature. Some of the themes analysed in the paper are Western corruption, the idea of unity among the displaced, self-acceptance, and emancipation of cultural hybridity.
