This study of cosmopolitanism in contemporary British and American fiction explores how several authors create dialogues between local experiences and global flows. In an era marked by intense globalization, transnational mobility, and technological change, the theories and values of cosmopolitanism respond to urgent concerns about cultural convergence and ways of relating to others. The four chapters focus on works by David Mitchell, Zadie Smith, Teju Cole, Dave Eggers, and Hari Kunzru, demonstrating how these writers envision new cosmopolitan modes of belonging. The analysis highlights the necessity for an emergent cosmopolitics that embraces the diversity and complexity of twenty-first-century globality. This interdisciplinary approach makes the study relevant for literature academics, undergraduate and postgraduate students, and researchers interested in contemporary culture and politics. With polished and sophisticated literary criticism, the work is both critically informed and remarkably clear, offering a persuasive engagement with ethics, community, transnationalism, and cultural identity—essential reading for anyone interested in contemporary fiction's contribution to today's world.
