metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The actual theme of the British novel of the beginning of the 21st century becomes an intensively
  changing urban multicultural space of London, as well as its inhabitants. The ethnic heterogeneity of London is enhanced by the residence of various national communities there.
  One of the most notable groups is British Bangladeshis. The article analyzes two works: White
  Teeth by Zadie Smith (2000) and Salam, Brick Lane: A Year in the New East End by Tarquin
  Hall (2005). These novels were written almost at the same time, but London and its realities
  are presented in them from different angles. The authors manage to weave a complex web of
  life histories of migrant families, sometimes spanning more than one generation. Narratives
  focus on British Bangladeshis, Jamaicans, Polish Jews, refugees from Afghanistan and other
  ethnic groups living in London, in particular the East End. The novels deal with the acute
  problems of migrants’ adaptation in British society, as well as the difficulties of perceiving and
  preserving the cultural heritage of their ancestors in their children who are educated in British
  schools and learn the behaviors of their English peers, which is a tragedy for their more
  conservative parents. On the basis of real stories, these works present a picture of a motley
  urban population and how, according to the ideas and personal experience of the authors, representatives
  of various groups of British society live and interact with each other: the so-called
  “native Englishmen”, “descendants of former migrants”, representatives of ethnic minorities,
  people from former colonies, etc.
