"White Teeth"

Paper Summary:

This paper examines how Zadie Smith's main theme and thesis in her book, "White Teeth", is, multi racialism and multiculturalism in London. In particular, it discusses how although this seems to be an apparently limited theme, at least from a geographical perspective, it gives birth to numerous implications and a global approach that seems natural and well received in an age where almost everything has turned global overnight. It also discusses whether the modern world lost tolerance and acceptance from its set of values.

From the Paper:

"A brief reference to the main characters in the book is essential in determining how the questions of the book are being addressed. Alfred Archibald Jones is a working-class Englishman, while Samad Iqbal, is a Bengali Muslim, now a waiter in an Indian restaurant in London. Having met in the Second World War (strange allusion and antithesis: while war disunites and divides nations, it sometimes helps unite races and simple individuals), the two have remained best friends ever since. Archie marries Clara, who has Jamaican roots, and have a daughter, Irie. Samad and his wife, Alsana, have twin sons, Magid and Millat. "
