Abstract
This diploma paper analyzes a selection of four British postcolonial novels, Andrea Levy’s Small Island, Zadie Smith’s White Teeth, Hanif Kureishi’s The Buddhaof Suburbia, and Monica Ali’s Brick Lane. Emphasis is placed on how the authors of these novels use literary realism to present stories of cultural and social displacement caused by the protagonists’ position as the “Other” within the British society. Edward Said’s Orientalism is used as a theoretical background, as well as to explain the... More uneven treatment of “Commonwealth literature” when compared to the English literature “proper”. Common themes within the analyzed novels include Western corruption, idea of unity among the displaced, self-acceptance, and emancipation of cultural hybridity. In order to understand the term “displacement” in its social and cultural sense, it is imperative to recognize the significance of British imperialism, as well as the role of postcolonial studies, the position of its authors, and the historical relevance of their novels, which serve as testimonies for the unjust and unequal treatment of the 'Orient' and everything that is not part of the Western hegemony.

Abstract (croatian)
Ovaj diplomski rad bavi se analizom četiri odabrana britanska postkolonijalna romana. Riječ je o romanima Mali otok (Andrea Levy), Bijeli zubi (Zadie Smith), Buddha iz predgrađa (Hanif Kureishi) i Brick Lane (Monica Ali). Poseban naglasak stavljen je na to kako autori ovih romana koriste književni realizam da bi predstavili priče o kulturnim i društvenim razmještanjima, kao i priče o traumatičnim događajima zbog specifične pozicije glavnih likova u Britanskom društvu, gdje su percipirani kao... More „drugi” tj. kao stranci. Orijentalizam Edwarda Saida koristi se kao jedna od glavnih teorijskih podloga za analizu romana, kao i za analizu nejednakog postupanja prema „Commonwealth književnosti” u usporedbi sa „pravom” britanskom književnošću. Ideja da zapadnjačka društva korumpiraju pridošlice iz bivših kolonija prisutna je u svim odabranim romanima, a prisutne su još i tematike jedinstva, samoprihvaćanja i emancipacije kulturalne hibridnosti. Kako bi se što bolje zahvatio pojam kulturnog i društvenog „izmještanja“, potrebno je razmotriti važnost britanskog imperijalizma, kao i ulogu postkolonijalnih studija, specifičnu poziciju postkolonijalnih autora i relevantnost njihovih romana, koji svjedoče o nepravdama prema „Orijentu“ i svemu što nije dio zapadne hegemonije.
