Ethnicity, Individuality and Peer Pressure in Meera Syal's Anita and Me
Original language description
The article focused on the literary depiction of bi-cultural childhood consciously placed into postmodern situation. Using theories of post-modernity and multiculturalism, I will analyze how Meera Syal?s critically highly acclaimed novel Anita and Me (1996) addresses the complex issues of child?s emerging individuality, the struggle with bi-cultural situation, the protagonis?s coping with ethnic versus mainstream identity, the influence of peer pressure on her maturation and how the realization of otherness and experience with racism function as rites of passage in the protagonist?s transition from childhood to adolescence.
