Small Island

Does the 1948 setting still pertain to today's immigration?

England isn't portrayed as nicely from a non-English perspective, is this more accurate?

Queenie's name certainly seems symbolic, but of what? England entirely? The royal family?

How big of a part do gender roles play in the novel and is it more significant or equally significant as the racial roles?

Does the device of multiple main characters add to the story? Or purposefully allow for some ambiguity?
