Thatcher D nemi Britanyas 'n n Sorunlar n n Benim Güzel ama rhanem'e Yans malar

Margaret Thatcher/Iron Lady is one of the most remarkable politicians/Prime Ministers in Britain and accordingly gives hername to a decade in Britain known as Thatcherite Britain. Her politics (especially her policies about privatization) is discussed alot, yet it is inarguable that she makes her mark not only in British history, but also in British literature. Hanif Kureishi is one ofthe writers, who reflects the problems of Thatcherite Britain into his works of art. Hence, in this paper, reflections of ThatcheriteBritain on Hanif Kureishi’s My Beautiful Laundrette will closely be studied. Furthermore, the influence of Thatcherite policies on theprotagonist/Omar and other immigrants will also be scrutinised with regard to My Beautiful Laundrette. In this work, theThatcherite attitude towards racism, capitalism and immigration is illustrated and evaluated from different perspectives.
