Keywords:
Zadie Smith, multiculturalism, postmodern literature, postcolonial identity, cultural hybridity, globalization, contemporary fiction.Abstract
Zadie Smith is one of the most influential contemporary British novelists whose works significantly contribute to the development of multicultural and postmodern literature. Her novels explore issues of cultural identity, racial diversity,
migration, globalization, and the complexities of modern urban life. Through characters who inhabit multiple cultural spaces, Smith presents a nuanced representation of postcolonial identity and cultural hybridity. This article examines
the role of Zadie Smith's major works in shaping multicultural and postmodern literary discourse, drawing upon theoretical perspectives of postcolonialism and cultural hybridity. The study argues that Smith's fiction reflects the fragmented
nature of contemporary identity while simultaneously celebrating cultural diversity and intercultural dialogue.
