Simultaneously a critique of Foucauldian governmentalist
interpretations of neoliberalism and a historical materialist
reading of contemporary South Asian fictions, Allegories of
Neoliberalism is a probing analysis of literary representations of
capitalism’s “forms of appearance.” This book offers critical
discussions on the important works of Akhtaruzzaman Elias, Amitav
Ghosh, Aravind Adiga, Arundhati Roy, H. M. Naqvi, Mohsin Hamid,
Nasreen Jahan, Samrat Upadhyay, and other writers from South Asia
and South Asian diaspora. It also advances a re-reading of Karl
Marx’s Capital through the themes and tropes of literature—one
that looks into literary representations of commoditization,
monetization, class exploitation, uneven spatial relationship,
financialization, and ecological devastation through the lens of
the German revolutionary’s critique of capitalism.
