Interculturism in Zadie Smith “White Teeth” Novel

Abstract

The research study "White Teeth in Zadie Smith" analyses the diversity and identity issues in Zadie Smith's book "White Teeth." The paper examines how the novel depicts the interactions and connections between the characters from various ethnic and cultural backgrounds in order to demonstrate how living in a multicultural society may be challenging. The study investigates how important individuals, including Samad Iqbal, Archie Jones, and Irie Jones, manage their cultural identities in a multicultural setting. As the characters try to reconcile their mixed lineage with their sense of self, the idea of hybrid identities is also examined. The paper claims that the novel emphasises the value of comprehension, tolerance, and acceptance in a heterogeneous society.
