Examining a range of South Asian Anglophone diasporic fiction and
poetry, this monograph opens a new dialogue between diaspora
studies and gender studies. It shows how discourses of diaspora
benefit from re-examining their own critical relation to concepts
of the maternal and the motherland. Rather than considering
maternity as a fixed or naturally given category, it challenges
essentialist conceptions and explores mothering as a performative
practice which actively produces discursive meaning. This
innovative approach also involves an investigation of central
metaphors in nationalist and diasporic rhetorics, bringing critical
attention to the strategies they employ and the unique aesthetic
forms they produce.
