dc.description.abstract | Andrea Levy’s Small Island captures the immigrant’s experience in cosmopolitan London.
In this novel, she showcases the fact that contrary to its claims to be accommodating to
this diversity, the values upheld make no room for difference as they are strictly Eurocentric.
The characters who through their colonial experience and education have been misled to
believe that they are part of the British Empire are presented here faced with the shock
of discovery that once in England, they are ascribed the second class position. This paper
intends to interrogate the claim to cosmopolitanism. This is done through an engagement
with postcolonial critique which conceptualizes the power relations between the colonizers
and the colonized. The main argument of this discussion is that although the London
of Andrea Levy’s Small Island accommodates individuals from a variety of racial, national,
cultural and ethnic backgrounds, they are never given the chance to experience any form of
social integration. | pl_PL |
dc.description.abstract | Small Island (pol. Wysepka), autorstwa Andrei Levy, przedstawia losy imigrantów w kosmopolitycznym
Londynie. Jednym z głównych problemów powieści jest ukazanie rozdźwięku
między deklarowaną otwartością i tolerancją a rzeczywistością, w której na stosunek do inności
rzutują silnie zakorzenione eurocentryczne schematy myślenia. Niniejszy artykuł, posługując
się narzędziami krytyki postkolonialnej, konceptualizującej problem relacji między
kolonizatorami i kolonizowanymi, analizuje na przykładzie ukazanego w powieści Londynu,
skomplikowane problemy kulturowe, narodowe, rasowe byłego imperium kolonialnego. | pl_PL |
