Diaspora in the Fiction of Andrea Levy

Original language description

This book surveys the fiction of Andrea Levy, a contemporary British author, in the context of diaspora and postcolonial studies. A biographical introduction to the author is followed by in-depth analyses of all novels published by Levy to the present. Whereas Every Light in the House Burnin?, Never Far From Nowhere and Fruit of the Lemon is a trilogy which focuses on recent Jamaican immigrants to Great Britain, Small Island pays tribute to the Windrush generation that arrived from the Caribbean to United Kingdom in 1948. The book also examines the popular film adaptation of Small Island. The final chapter looks at Levy's most recent novel, The Long Song, in which the author depicts slavery in the Caribbean and the long and difficult process of emancipation. Diaspora in the Fiction of Andrea Levy is the first monograph that focuses on Levy's writing and provides comprehensive critical evaluation of her work.
