Keywords:
postcolonial culture,, immigration, identity, hybridityAbstract
In this article, the processes of formation of postcolonial culture in Great Britain were analyzed based on social, historical, and cultural factors. In the course of the research, the colonial policy of the British Empire in the 18th-20th centuries and its consequences, the influence of immigration processes on the demographic and cultural structure, as well as the features of the expression of these processes in the literature, were scientifically highlighted. On the example of the works of such writers as Zadie Smith, Salman Rushdie, Hanif Kureishi, and Buchi Emecheta, postcolonial identity, cultural hybridity, and the “center-periphery” opposition were analyzed. As a result of the analysis, it was revealed that the culture of Great Britain acquired a multi-identity and transnational character, and the role of post-colonial processes in cultural transformation was scientifically determined.
