Description
Book SynopsisThis is the first text to focus solely on the writing of British writers of South Asian descent born or raised in Britain. Written in accessible prose, it offers original new readings of works, among others by Salman Rushie, V. S. Naipaul, Hanif Kureishi, Ravinder Randhawa, Atima Srivastava, Monica Ali and Meera Syal.
Trade ReviewThis is a carefully documented and thoughtfully organised work which offers clear guidelines for examining writers who are trying to rethink cultural and ethnic positioning as both possibilities and limits for 21st-century writers.
As the only study to date to focus exclusively on British-born and British-raised Asian writers of fiction, this book is not only a valuable contribution to the field but also presents a critical platform for further research in this area.
