metadata.value: The novel Brick Lane by British writer Monica Ali provides a vivid sketch of the life of Bangladeshis
  both at home and in London, where the largest community of people from Bangladesh
  lives outside South Asia, primarily natives of Sylhet County. The book got its name due to the
  street, which has become a distinctive center of concentration for Bengalis in the capital of Great
  Britain. Ali’s novel Brick Lane can be regarded as a source on the recent history and ethnography
  of Great Britain and Bangladesh. The novel examines the peculiarities of the acculturation of
  Bengalis in England, identifies the points of conflicts between the host society and migrants,
  the growth of domestic racism in the place of concentration of migrants perceived as outsiders
  and the threat to traditional British values. The main characters of the novel — spouses Chanu
  and Nazneen, as well as their daughters — found themselves at the junction of two worlds: the
  European metropolis and the Asian rural hinterland. The work also depicts the conflict between
  representatives of different generations: between labor migrants, who arrived in England twenty
  or thirty years ago, recently arrived migrants and between descendants of migrants born in London
  who consider England as their homeland and Bangladesh as a distant country. Ali in her
  novel describes options for a way out of the conflict of civilizations in which the main characters
  were involved. Shanu, unable to achieve career growth and improve his social status, decided to
  leave London, while Nazneen and their daughters preferred to remain in the city.
