Exploring the recurring figures of Eastern Europeans as a new reservoir of cheap labour, the author engages with a wide range of both mainstream and neglected authors, films, and programmes, including Rose Tremain, John Lanchester, Marina Lewycka, Polly Courtney, Dubravka Ugrešić, Kapka Kassabova, Kwame Kwei-Armah, Mike Phillips, .It’s a Free World., .Gypo., .Britain’s Hardest Workers., .The Poles are Coming., and .Czech Dream.. Analyzing the treatment of Eastern Europeans as builders, fruit pickers, nannies, and victims of sextrafficking, and ways of resisting the stereotypes, this is an important intervention into debates about Europe, migration, and postcommunist transition to capitalism, as represented in multiple contemporary cultural texts. . | 出版日期 | Book 2019 | 关键词 | contemporary literature; culture; Eastern Europe; English literature; Europe; literature | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1057/978-1-137-53792-8 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-137-53792-8 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Limited |
