Jews and Jewishness loom large in the contemporary South Asian
cultural imaginary, both on the subcontinent, and in the diaspora.
Along with less canonical authors, Writing Indians and Jews
examines many of South Asia's most celebrated and best known
contemporary writers working in English - Salman Rushdie, Vikram
Seth, Anita Desai, Amitav Ghosh - who have placed Jewish characters
and themes at the center of recent works. Anna Guttman argues that
the work of Indian Jewish writers complicates the fields of
postcolonial studies and her investigations make an important
contribution to the study of contemporary South Asian and diasporic
literature, and understandings of anti-Semitism, religious
fundamentalism, and globalization.
