Abstract

The beginning of the 1960s was known for the change in the ideological matrix in Britain. The new political situation helped society change its attitude and become more open to the events that would come later. It was also a period marked by rapid and radical cultural changes. Pop culture became a way of life for young people, causing profound changes in their attitudes toward leisure and, as a result, affecting various spheres of life. The paper deals with the impact of popular culture on Hanif Kureishi, the writer of mixed-race identity. The special focus is on the impact of music and the musicians of the time Kureishi features in his writings: their texts, clothes, and style. By intertwining fine arts and literature with performing arts and music, Kureishi generates cultural identity.
