This book explores contemporary British multicultural multi-genre literature. Considering socio-political and philosophical ideas about British multiculturalism, superdiversity and conviviality, Ulla Rahbek studies a broad range of texts by writers from across the majority-minority divide. The text focuses on figurative registers and metaphorical richness in multicultural poetry and investigates the interlocked issue of recognition, representation and identity in memoirs. Rahbek analyses how twenty-first-century British multicultural novels both envision and reimagine an inclusive nation and thematise the detrimental effects of individual exclusion on characters' pursuits of the good life. She observes the ways that short stories pivot on ambivalent encounters and intercultural dialogue, and she reflects on the public good of multicultural literature.
"British Multicultural Literature and Superdiversity is a lucidly written, and convincingly argued book that engages in the role of literature in the public sphere. ... British Multicultural Literature and Superdiversity is a compelling read for anyone interested in literary representations of multicultural and superdiverse Britain in the twenty-first century." (Carolin Gebauer, Anglia, Vol. (139) 1, 2021)
"The book recommends itself to scholars and non-specialists. Rahbek's style is distinguished by its clarity, accessibility and common-sense pragmatism. ... Ulla Rahbek's British Multicultural Literature and Superdiversity is thus a timely intervention on the role of literature in reimagining local, national and diasporic ways of being in a world increasing lacking in multicultural imagination." (Sneharika Roy, Caliban, French Journal of English Studies, Vol. 63, 2020)
