摘要

This chapter expands on the theme of metropolitan disorder with a discussion of immigration in Kamala Markandaya’s The Nowhere Man. The chapter highlights the novel’s nuanced depiction of the spectrum of racial attitudes in 1960s Britain, also documented in contemporary sociological studies. The chapter further shows how the middlebrow tropes of the home and the neighbourhood denote the nation’s ambivalent response to immigration, as well as frustration with the unfulfilled promises of the welfare state.
