The ASEAN countries, in particular, have come to play an important part in India's trade and policy considerations over the last decade. This book argues that India is responding strongly to the growth of the Asia-Pacific region which is now of elevated importance in India's strategic and foreign policy calculations. India and Southeast Asia provides a close contextual analysis of India's interests and perceptions in the region during the 40 years of independence, puttInternational politics in Asia series.International relationsSoutheast AsiaForeign relationsIndiaIndiaForeign relationsSoutheast AsiaIndiaForeign relations1947-1984IndiaForeign relations1984-Electronic books.International relations.327.54Ayoob Mohammed1942-,936787Institute of Southeast Asian Studies.FlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910455549103321India and Southeast Asia2110014UNINA03284nam 22005655 450 991030003060332120250123232908.09783319964423331996442910.1007/978-3-319-96442-3(CKB)4100000007003139(MiAaPQ)EBC5553287(DE-He213)978-3-319-96442-3(PPN)240247655(Perlego)3492912(EXLCZ)99410000000700313920181011d2018 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierEating and Identity in Postcolonial Fiction Consuming Passions, Unpalatable Truths /by Paul Vlitos1st ed. 2018.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan,2018.1 online resource (334 pages)9783319964416 3319964410 1.

Conclusion.This book focuses on the fiction of four postcolonial authors: V.S. Naipaul, Anita Desai, Timothy Mo and Salman Rushdie. It argues that meals in their novels act as sites where the relationships between the individual subject and the social identities of race, class and gender are enacted. Drawing upon a variety of academic fields and disciplines - including postcolonial theory, historical research, food studies and recent attempts to rethink the concept of world literature - it dedicates a chapter to each author, tracing the literary, cultural and historical contexts in which their texts are located and exploring the ways in which food and the act of eating acquire meanings and how those meanings might clash, collide and be disputed. Not only does this book offer suggestive new readings of the work of its four key authors, but it challenges the reader to consider the significance of food in postcolonial fiction more generally.LiteratureLiterature, Modern20th centuryLiterature, Modern21st centuryComparative literatureWorld LiteratureContemporary LiteratureComparative LiteratureLiterature.Literature, ModernLiterature, ModernComparative literature.World Literature.Contemporary Literature.Comparative Literature.823.03Vlitos Paulauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut987538BOOK9910300030603321Eating and Identity in Postcolonial Fiction2257525UNINA
