This edited volume critically assesses different aspects of five
literary genres – novels, poetry, short-stories, drama, and
non-fictional prose – contributed to by the Indian diasporic
writers settled principally in North America and Europe. Films made
by or on members of the Indian diaspora have been also checked out.
The predominant approach in the anthology is not only a feminist
one, although special emphasis is given on assessing the writings
by females. The emphasis of the anthology is on: (a) critical
analyses of themes, styles, diction, and relevance of the writings;
(b) assessment of the research potentialities of these writings;
(c) examining how literary theories could be used for explaining
and assessing the writings; (d) proper contextualization of the
writings; and (e) finding out the historical roots and suggesting
the future 'prospects' of such writings. The essays included in the
book re-read Indian diasporic writings for their appreciable points
as well as those which need development. The collection fills in
lacuna of critical approaches to Indian diasporic writings
presently available in the market. In fact, there is scarcely any
book presently available that covers critical approaches to all the
five literary genres of Indian diasporic writings.
