Kureishi’s novel The Buddha of Suburbia is one of the key works of postcolonial prose. The aim is to provide a comprehensive analysis of the generational conflict in the novel. The purpose is not only to relate the characters of the work under study to the wave of migration (first/second generation of migrants), but also to determine their place in the historical process and their belonging to a certain generation, in accordance with the sociological theory. For this purpose, the nature and causes of conflict interaction between first- and second-generation migrants were analyzed. The dominant life and behavioural strategies inherent in migrants’ characters belonging to different generational cycles are fixed in the form of oppositions. The result of the research is the disclosure of the analysis specificity of generational conflict in the novel The Buddha of Suburbia. Relevant conclusions are drawn, which indicate the crisis of patriarchal-traditional institutions and the destructive nature of values dominating in British society.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Рассматриваются особенности анализа конфликта поколений в литературе о миграции на примере романе Х. Курейши «Будда из пригорода» - одного из ключевых произведений постколониальной прозы. Цель - всесторонний анализ конфликта поколений, задача - соотнести персонажей изучаемого произведения не только с волной миграции (первым/вторым поколением мигрантов), но и определить их местоположение в историческом процессе, принадлежность к определенному поколению в соответствии с социологической теорией. Для этого были проанализированы характер и причины конфликтного взаимодействия мигрантов первого и второго поколений. Фиксируются доминантные жизненные и поведенческие стратегии, присущие персонажам-мигрантам, принадлежащим к разным поколенческим циклам, в форме оппозиций. В результате раскрыта специфика анализа конфликта поколений в романе «Будда из пригорода», сделаны выводы, свидетельствуюющие о кризисе патриархально-традиционных институтов и деструктивной природе ценностей, доминирующих в британском обществе.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>generational conflict</kwd><kwd>the problem of generations</kwd><kwd>migration literature</kwd><kwd>H.
