With the rising tide of anti-racism,The British public’s current understanding of colonial history、Rising interest in imperial history and the British civil rights movement,Afro-British literature also shows an increasingly prosperous character。Some scholars believe,This is an echo of the recent wave of anti-racism in the West,In fact, the climax of bet365 voucher writing has not yet come。
bet365 voucher wave triggers readers’ “hungry”
Malachi McIntosh, editor of the British literary quarterly "Traveler" thinks,Many unprecedented changes are taking place in the world today,No one can foresee these changes。The protests around the world against the African-American George Floyd are one of them。The incident also sparked a big discussion about race and racism in the UK。In this context,People are beginning to pay more attention to the colonial history of the West、Empire History and the British Civil Rights Movement,Interest in bet365 voucher works also increased。
Candice Carty-Williams and Bernardine Evaristo represent the first African-British bet365 voucher to win two major awards at the British Book Awards. ——Book of the Year Award and Writer of the Year Award。Reni Eddo-Lodge, author of Why I Stop Talking to White People About Race, becomes first African-British author to top paperback non-fiction chart。In mass media and newspapers,Surge in readings of works by African-British bet365 voucher。This is obviously a manifestation of the reader’s “hungry” for background knowledge,They almost never learn about the history of race and racism in school or college。
The writing of African-British bet365 voucher has not yet fully flourished
However,The general boom in literary writing by African-British bet365 voucher has not been hastened by the recent wave of anti-racism。McIntosh thinks,After World War II, the writing of African-British bet365 voucher experienced a boom similar to today。After the war, Britain entered a long stage of decolonization,Through pre-colonial and colonial waves of immigration,Britain’s demographics changed permanently。This change triggered the curiosity of Caribbean immigrant groups in literary creation。As noted by Kenneth Ramchand in West Indian Novel and Its Context,In 1950-1964,Over 80 novels by Caribbean bet365 voucher published in the UK,That’s more than published in the Caribbean。
Unfortunately,The peak of African American writers’ creation did not last。With the passage of a series of restrictive immigration bills from 1962 to 1971,Immigration gradually decreases,The creative opportunities for bet365 voucher the Caribbean have also decreased,The works of these writers are gradually disappearing from bookstore shelves。Later,The attention of the British literary world turns to bet365 voucher the African continent,Especially writers from West Africa。In West Africa,The process of decolonization takes a dramatic turn。But this interest soon gradually waned。
Around 2000,With the obvious changes in population structure,The rise of renamed “multicultural” writing。Zadie Smith、Andrea Levy、African bet365 voucher such as Monica Ali have achieved great success in the UK。But after that,The creation of African-British bet365 voucher has hit another low point。British writer and editor Diana Athill writes in her memoir,The post-war boom in writing from former colonial bet365 voucher was due to the British's short-lived "guilt",Also benefited from the British curiosity about those peoples and countries that broke away from Britain。Survey report on the British publishing industry,Publisher believes,More works by bet365 voucher from different ethnic groups should be published,To develop specific markets and target readers。
Evaristo pays tribute to the growing creative community of African-British literature,Also raised questions。She thinks,Some things are indeed changing,But how far this trend of change will go is worth thinking about,Especially those who have published many works,The future development of bet365 voucher whose writing fields are particularly narrow。Just like their predecessors,Are African American bet365 voucher only allowed to tell certain stories,Or convey some specific information。
McIntosh said,Although it is too early to tell how long the boom in writing by African-British bet365 voucher will last,But the social change model reflected behind this prosperity,Very worthy of attention。
