This research paper examines Hanif Kureishi's artistic evolution, from his early works steeped in colonial influence to his mature pieces resonating with themes of empowerment and self-realization. Through a comprehensive textual analysis of selected novels, screenplays and essays, this study delves into the metamorphosis of identity in Kureishi's oeuvre within the context of post-colonial Britain. The analysis explores how Kureishi's characters navigate the complexities of cultural intersectionality, immigrant experiences, fundamentalism, personal identity crises, and familial relationships. Drawing on post-colonial theory and related concepts, the paper highlights the profound thematic diversity in Kureishi's works, offering fresh perspectives on post-colonial identity formation and its dynamic nature.
