- This book is the first comparative analysis of a new generation of South Asian women novelists. Paying careful attention to the authors’ distinct subcontinental backgrounds of Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, as well as India. this study destabilises the central place given to fiction focused on India. Drawing on postcolonial feminism, diaspora and migration studies, globalisation and related ideas of transnationalism, cosmopolitanism and hybridity, Contemporary Diasporic South Asian Women's Fiction: Gender, Narration and Globalisation demonstrates how South Asian Women writers continue to challenge trends emerging in critical theory and produce a postcolonial feminist discourse, which differs from Anglo-American feminism.
