The book examines the status of several less known cultures or cultural communities which exist in the peripheries of space and time. In addition to this, the arguments and the discourses running through chapters prove the need of cultural diversity and pluralism. This well-thought and critically written book is a clarion call for humanity to look over the shoulder and see the ghost of civilization receding farther away. The book will interest the readers, scholars, practitioners, and activists who like to explore several cultures and cultural conflicts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eLiterature from the Peripheries is a must read for anyone interested in minority cultures and communities globally. The essays are in depth and cover diverse topics making the Book extremely relevant for all Postcolonial scholars.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Dr. Nandini C. Sen, Noted Academic and Author of the bestselling book The Second Wife and Other Stories\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is a timely intervention into the facets of marginalized literature with its emphasis on postcolonial Indian literature. It provides a brilliant study of texts and the thirteen chapters give an insight into a broad spectrum of theoretical and historical issues of marginal literature. This book provides an astute revelation on the discourse of marginality and will be of interest to scholars and students.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Neepa Sarkar, Mount Carmel College\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eLiterature from the Peripheries is a well-researched book articulating the need for cultural renaissance and inclusive cultural ecosystem in a liberal democracy like that of India. The book has done justice in navigating the literature of the various ethnic communities which are written both in English as well as in native languages. What is most remarkable about the book is that, it has tried to bring to the fore the ‘English’ that communities in India and in various parts of the world write with offering a wide scope to understand the dichotomous relationship that emerges out of language differences between people and becomes an overpowering reason for social exclusion. The book rightly, vocalizes the need for appreciating differences to know the richness with which the world is inhabited. \u003c\/p\u003e -- Dr. Anusuya A.
