This book grows out of the question, \u0022At this particular
moment of tense geopolitics and inter-linked economies, what
insights can South Asian American writing offer us about living in
the world?\u0022 South Asian American literature, with its focus on
the multiple geographies and histories of the global dispersal of
South Asians, pulls back from a close-up view of the United States
to reveal a wider landscape of many nations and peoples. South
Asian American poets, novelists, and playwrights depict the nation
as simultaneously discrete and entwined with the urgencies of
places as diverse as Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, India, Burma, Pakistan,
and Trinidad. Drawing on the cosmopolitan sensibility of scholars
like Anthony Appiah, Vinay Dharwadker, Martha Nussbaum, Bruce
Robbins, and Amartya Sen, this book exhorts North American
residents to envision connectedness with inhabitants of other
lands. The world out there arrives next door.
