Book Synopsis
Argues that during the past fifty years Asian and black intellectuals from Sam Selvon to Zadie Smith have continually challenged the United Kingdom's exclusionary definitions of citizenship, using innovative forms of cultural expression to reconfigure definitions of belonging in the postcolonial age.

Trade Review
The success of Mongrel Nation stems from Dawson's rigorous attention to the depth and richness of contextual frames: how all of the texts he reads are deeply interwoven in social, political, and cultural contexts whose racial and national lines criss-cross and spiral out transnationally." —Omaar Hena, The Minnesota Review
