Sažetak
This diploma paper sets out to analyse Hanif Kureishi’s nineties fiction and how it articulates issues of hybrid and fluid identity in contemporary British society. The paper focuses on Kureishi’s three novels and two short story collections written in the 1990s: 'The Buddha of Suburbia' (1990), 'The Black Album' (1995), 'Intimacy' (1998), 'Love in a Blue Time' (1997), and 'Midnight All Day' (1999). The paper explores 'The Buddha of Suburbia' and 'The Black Album' in terms of hybrid identity and analyses their protagonists, first- and second-generation British-Asian immigrants, who are constantly othered. Kureishi’s later works articulate more universal struggles of mostly white, middle-aged, middle class men who tend to avoid marital and family constraints, and the paper focuses on his protagonists in the context of Zygmunt Bauman’s theory of ‘liquid modernity’.
