Abstract

English Literature
Multiculturalism, Zadie Smith, cultural influences, varied perspectives, mainstream British culture
This research article attempts to investigate the central concept of multiculturalism as well as the issues faced by immigrants who do not belong in the country where they reside in Zadie Smith's seminal work, "The White Teeth." The classic novel by Zadie Smith addresses the crucial issue of multiculturalism and the difficulties faced by immigrants who reside in a foreign country and contribute to its multiculturalism. A sort of cultural melting pot, it also covers how the British populace responds and responds to this ever expanding mix of cultures. It follows the lives of three families: the Iqubal, Jones, and Bowden families. Each of the three families has a mix of cultural influences. The novel examines how they repeatedly feel that they are "simply tolerated" in a country that is not their own. It analyzes how the way British people react to them sometimes purposefully, sometimes unknowingly maintains their sense of "not belonging," which keeps growing. This book also explores the desire of people from different immigrant cultures to learn more about their historical origins and the ideas they hold about their ancestors' homelands and progenitors. In order to convince the new people that they are a part of something great, the characters in this piece are continually engaged in the torturous quest of greatness in their roots. Hysterical realism is a literary genre used by Zadie Smith that was initially described by British critic James Wood, a well-known critic of Smith's writing. This writing technique has enabled her to accurately capture the confusion that exists in immigrant brains. Smith did an excellent job of capturing London's multiracial environment. Minority Muslim cultures also struggle to interact with other cultures, including Jamaican, American, Bangladeshi/Bengali, etc., in addition to the mainstream British culture. The main character Shamad, who immigrated, finds himself in a melting pot of numerous ethnicities where there is perpetual racial and cultural conflict. He, like every other character, has a strong feeling that dominion could lead to the eradication of his civilization. It is clear that the small culture in the other country dominates through behavior or language. All of the immigrant characters experience alienation, and as a result, they all react differently, some in a stoic manner and others in a reactionary or aggressive one, like Shamad's son Millat. Zadie Smith has consistently addressed problems relating to immigrants, religion, ethnic identity, etc. The novel's happy ending conveys the idea that despite the many disputes, things will eventually get better as people grow to accept one another's cultures and identities. The majority of academics describe multiculturalism as an interdisciplinary approach. The individuals in the book come from a variety of backgrounds, and as a result, they have varied perspectives. The first immigrant family worries that by assimilating into a diverse community, they risk losing their cultural identity. They made an effort to adapt to the many cultures, but the second generation is also having trouble.
