It is argued that the narrative of this latter carries in its seeds a transnational memory that crosses the exclusive boundary of post-war identity that Britain underwent during the 1940s. This form of aesthetics has genuinely grounded the diasporic experience in the British cultural memory so that it became a warm home for the Caribbean immigrants of the Windrush Generation. Being written in the first decade of the twenty-first century, the novel highly contributes to enlighten contemporary multicultural Britain by creating multiracial sites of memory that function as new markers of British identity.otherBlack representationCollective memoryEnglish identityBlack British FictionTowards a black british fiction of memory: narrating the peripheral space of english identity in andrea levy ‘small islandArticle
