WORDS FROM INDIA IN THE WEST A CRITICAL APPROAC...

This edited volume critically assesses different aspects of five literary genres - novels 
poetry  short-stories  drama  and non-fictional prose - contributed to by the Indian diasporic
writers settled principally in North America and Europe. Films made by or on members of the
Indian diaspora have been also checked out. The predominant approach in the anthology is not
only a feminist one  although special emphasis is given on assessing the writings by females.
The emphasis of the anthology is on: (a) critical analyses of themes  styles  diction  and
relevance of the writings  (b) assessment of the research potentialities of these writings  (c)
examining how literary theories could be used for explaining and assessing the writings  (d)
proper contextualization of the writings  and (e) finding out the historical roots and
suggesting the future 'prospects' of such writings. The essays included in the book re-read
Indian diasporic writings for their appreciable points as well as those which need development.
The collection fills in lacuna of critical approaches to Indian diasporic writings presently
available in the market. In fact  there is scarcely any book presently available that covers
critical approaches to all the five literary genres of Indian diasporic writings.
