Abstract
In Zadie smith debut book White Teeth (2000), Black British novelist and immigrant Zadie Smith tackles postmodern themes. Postmodern themes are the main focus of the book, especially how two close friends from Bangladesh, Samad Iqbal and Archie Jones, and their kids, are building their identities while residing in multicultural London. Of course, White Teeth examines the difficulties of living in a multicultural environment with the gap between first- and second-generation immigrants. The characters are unhappy with their life in modern society and have ties to their past. Smith portrays second-generation migrants and holds the opinion that their upbringing, style of life, way of thinking, etc., are completely different from those of Western societies. One of my favorite things that a story can do is weave many different ropes of stories and then smash them all together at the end in one big explosion of revelations and happenings. Smith also explores the concept of family and how different generations intract with one another. The story focuses on postmodern concerns, namely the development of identity among two close friends, a Bangladeshi (Samad Iqbal) and an Englishman (Archie Jones), and their children living in cosmopolitan London. Clearly, White Teeth investigates the difficulties associated with living in a varied society, particularly the gap between the first and second generations of immigrants.
