In this age of globalisation, when the cultures are becoming
deterritoralised, in this book the works of three transcultural
writers, Shyam Selvadurai, Michael Ondatjee and Yasmine Goonaratne
have been analysed, by challenging the outmoded nationalist and
universalist paradigms, evoking a rethinking as to where and how
cultures are located and also how to create new literary spaces in
the formation of subjectivity in diasporic and postnational
contexts, without diffusing or homogenising disparate cultures and
identities. Their literature conveys an appeal for new regenerative
politics, which recognises identities as combination of multiple
traits and loyalities and allows all ethnic groups access to
democratic politics yet priviliges none and does not include
provision that guarantees the survival of such groups this position
being comparable with the contigent and transcultural nature of
cultures.The book examines the attempts of these versatile authors
who, in order to express complexities of diasporic experience,
adapt techniques of diasporic writing. Investigating in approach,
this book offers new insights into the fast growing area of South
Asian Diasporic Writing.
