Women and the word marginalization have never remained oxymoronic -
the cross-cultural texts and Engels interest on subjugation make a
perfect recipe for this incongruity. Multicultural and Marginalized
Voices of Postcolonial Literature traces multifarious facets of
marginalized literature across the world, giving a brilliant
overview of the historical roots of multiculturalist and
marginalized sections. The fourteen chapters relate key literary
and cultural texts and cover a broad spectrum of historical,
linguistic and theoretical issues. There are three sections in the
book - section I has four chapters, dealing specifically
theoretical constructions and representations. Section II consists
of four chapters that offer varied spectrum of discourses on world
literature, intersecting with the frameworks of literary theories.
Section III comprises six chapters that explore the mind of dalits,
subalterns, colonial women and gender issues of a variety of Indian
English Writers and draw varied perspectives of it.
The word doyennes signifies the various expressions of female,
feminine, and feminist aspects of contemporary literature in India,
through multiple theoretical frameworks. Contemporary Women's
Writing in India is an edited collection dealing with a range of
these issues set in the society of Indian culture. Indian women's
literature is still a fertile ground for critical enquiry. There
are three sections in the collection: Section I deals with specific
instances in history, historical constructions, and representations
of gender. Section II offers a varied spectrum of feminist critical
discourse on contemporary Indian women's writing, intersecting with
the frameworks of post-colonial theory, deconstruction,
perspectives on race and ethnicity, and eco-feminism. Section III
touches upon the notion of the woman's body and psyche through the
varied perspectives of psychoanalysis, feminism, and post-feminism.
By thoroughly exploring a range of issues, Contemporary Women's
Writing promises to take the reader by the hand, and journey
through the unfamiliar but refreshing landscape of women's
literature in India.
