from (II) - Framing New Visions
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 December 2019
Hollinger’s concept of ‘postethnicity’ originates in the US context and will be adapted here to capture the intense play with the interrogation, transformation and construction of ethnicity that characterizes novels by Hanif Kureishi, Zadie Smith, Helen Oyeyemi, Kit De Waal, Diran Adebayo, and Diana Evans; the concept also serves to analyse BAME-authored texts that seek to evade unambiguous ethnic markers altogether. These strategies undercut and resist the recurrent expectation for black and Asian writers to construct protagonists of unambiguous ethnicity. In the wake of a threatened return to materiality, these novels are a radical statement on the contemporary state of ethnicity and a strategy for widening the aesthetic and thematic scope available to black and Asian British literary production.
