title: Black and Asian British Life Writing: Race, Gender and Representation in Selected Novels From the 1990s
abstract: This thesis explores six post-1990s black and Asian British women novelists and the ways in which they utilise life writing strategies in their novels.

Attention is paid to how these novelists represent their individual subjective identities and how their particular experiences
