Deconstruction and Re-writing of Englishness and the European Cultural Identity in Bernardine Evaristo's Narrative

If analysed through a theoretical grid whose critical paradigms originate within an analytical area where British cultural studies, gender and postcolonial studies interweave Bernardine Evaristo's fictions shows peculiar narrative strategies – in terms of genre, stylistic experimentation (novels-inverse and a novel-with-verse) and inspiring motifs – which allow her (from the specific perspective of an ANglo-Nigerian London-born wiman writer of mixed origins) to intervene within traditionally hegemonic representational circuits – be they British or European – so contributing to re-write/re-right the notion of English national identity and to re-examine European history from new nonexclusionary perspectives.
