Abstract
Modern British postcolonial literature is a motley panorama of works created by writers with various non-British ethno-cultural roots - Indian, African, Caribbean, etc. The themes of these works are extremely relevant: the construction of a space that could be called a new home, the influence of history on human destiny, contradictory processes of social change and the emergence of new multiethnic diasporas.
