Abstract

Zadie Smith, anotable British women writers stands in the canon of black British immigrant
literary personalities. This article is about the short stories where she carried out the themes of
her novels: identity crisis, multiculturalism, and search for being. She creates characters that are
both culturally alienated and displaced. The stories introduce the characters who are dispossessed
and alienated and their life is in turn largely depended on upon their ability. Hence creating their
own identity within their loosely constmcted global community and that was fragmented by their
circumstances. She depicts them (Hanwell, Martha and Fatou) and portrays them thou classical
themes, besides being amusing and engaging in their own right.
