TIMOTHY BRENNAN, "Salman Rushdie and the Third World: Myths of the Nation"

This book deals with the rise of authors which belong to a minority in Great Britain, and also how they helped this minorities to find a place in the British literary tradition.

Here ("Salman Rushdie and the Third World: Myths of the Nation by Timothy Brennan (Used, New, Out-of-Print) - Alibris", visited in October 2008) we can find a review of this book in alibris.com which sums up what the book is dealing with:

"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."
