- The writing of New Postcolonial British Genres spanned a six-year period, initially supported through an Alumni bursary to cover doctoral tuition fees at Lancaster University (2009–12). Comprised of an introduction, conclusion, and four substantial chapters, the monograph draws together canonical and critically neglected works to identify and explore four new literary and cinematic genres that have evolved to reflect the changing shape of postcolonial Britain. The study draws on a wide range of literary, cinematic, cultural, critical and political sources, presenting a comprehensive and interdisciplinary picture of contemporary British cultural productions and their relationship to the aftermath of empire.
