Description

Product Description As the history of British colonialism recedes and a new phase of global integration intensifies, the critical tools of postcolonialism become less useful in reading South Asian diasporic fiction in Britain. A Passage to Globalism: Globalization, Identities, and South Asian Diasporic Fiction in Britain responds to the need for a critical framework that is able to address the relationships between identities and contemporary globality. It examines the politics of representation that are involved in positioning and categorizing South Asian diasporic fiction within such a world and asks questions of who and what are represented and how and to whom in selected works of South Asian diasporic fiction. A secondary aim of A Passage to Globalism addresses how South Asian diasporic fiction might extend and qualify theoretical explanations of globalization. This book asks what role does South Asian diasporic fiction play in constructing narratives of globalization? And how does literary analysis help us understand how stories of globalization are told? Testing and extending the utility of concepts from both Marxist and liberal explanations of globalization in this way, it argues for an integrated theoretical approach to a set of texts that operate at the complex intersection between Britain's colonial past and the complexity of contemporary globality as well as across local, national, and transnational literary contexts. About the Author Bidhan Chandra Roy received his PhD in English literature from the University of London. He has published articles and book chapters on Hanif Kureishi, V. S. Naipaul, Christopher Isherwood, Muslim identity and literature, Buddhism, literary representations of South Asian ethnicity, and cultural representations of 9/11. Bidhan currently lives in Los Angeles where he is Assistant Professor of Anglophone and Contemporary British Literature at California State University, Los Angeles.
