- Title
NARRATING NATIONHOOD: CONSTRUCTED IDENTITIES IN ANDREA LEVY'S SMALL ISLAND.
- Authors
POLOPOLI, VALERIA
- Abstract
The aim of this paper is to examine how the British author of Jamaican origin Andrea Levy deconstructs racially exclusivist configurations of Britishness in her novel "Small Island" (2004). Looking back at the Windrush era and the Second World War, with the benefit of temporal distance, she reconceptualises the British nation as a plural and inclusive site of multicultural convergence, thus exposing the constructedness of cultural and national identities.
