The dialectic between national literary production and the rise of a group of writers with cosmopolitan sympathies is the aim of this book, concentrating on Rushdie's novels and journalism. It comments on the narrowness with which British literary tradition has been conceived and broadens its scope to include the new writing emerging from Britain's black communities.
