Racio-cultural Hegemony and the Experience of British Immigrants in Phillips’ A Distant Shore

Abstract

This research depicts how the outsiders inA Distant Shoreare treated in the foreign land and how the impact of colonial past is flourishing in the mentality of British people. Solomon, a black guy from an unknown war ravaged African land happens to come Britain with his great anticipation of better life there. But quite contrarily, there he gets numerous hurdles to face and finally dies on the foreign land. In nutshell, my research veers around the issue of the contemporary Bristish hostility towards outsiders and how they became the victim of ramifications in England as none of the characters succeed in their goal.
