English literary circles have long emphasised the influence of Chinese ethnicity on literature by writers of Chinese descent. Yet, the acceleration of global migration by the increased mobility of labour and capital since the latter half of the twentieth century has endowed Chinese minority group with broader identities beyond just ethnicity. This thesis turns to trans-ethnic themes in contemporary British Chinese literature and reads it as a hybrid genre of Deleuzian minor literature and ethnic literature. In this context, this thesis particularly focuses on the manner through which British Chinese writers deterritorialise the dichotomy between the East and the West, to seek for a cultural hybridity and critical syncretism. Through examining literary works by Timothy Mo, Xiaolu Guo, Hong Liu, Helen Tse and PP Wong, this thesis elucidates how British Chinese writers engage with diverse literary and aesthetic discourses, rather than solely basing their writing on the proclamation of the homogeneity of Chineseness. Although these writers are still used to create protagonists of Chinese/Asian descent to negotiate with the publishing market's expectation for ethnic minority writers, some of these characters are in common with cosmopolitan figures who refuse to identify themselves with any one nationality, race, or ethnicity. Analysis of the trans-ethnic themes reflected in these works in turn demonstrates a crossing of ethnic boundaries of contemporary British Chinese literature, which is not as ethnically shaped as conventionally assumed. This research further suggests a deconstruction of the dominant literary categorisation in terms of the authors' ethnicity, highlighting the necessity of equal power for both majority and minority cultural discourses.
