The author compares the work of established Indian writers including Bharati Mukherjee, Meena Alexander, Sara Suleri, and Sunetra Gupta to new writings by such Afro-Italian immigrant women as Ermina dell'Oro, Maria Abbebů Viarengo, Ribka Sibhatu, and Sirad Hassan. Sandra Ponzanesi's analysis highlights a set of dissymmetrical relationships that are set in the context of different imperial, linguistic, and market policies. By dealing with issues of representation linked to postcolonial literary genres, to gender and ethnicity questions, and to new cartographies of diaspora, this book imbues the postcolonial debate with a new élan. 410 0$aSUNY series, explorations in postcolonial studies. 606 $aIndic literature (English)$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAmerican literature$xSouth Asian American authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish literature$xSouth Asian authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aItalian literature$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEast Indian American women$xIntellectual life 606 $aImmigrants' writings$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEast Indians$zEngland$xIntellectual life 606 $aEmigration and immigration in literature 606 $aAfricans$zItaly$xIntellectual life 606 $aEast Indian Americans in literature 606 $aPostcolonialism in literature 606 $aSouth Asians in literature 606 $aWomen and literature 615 0$aIndic literature (English)$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xSouth Asian American authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xSouth Asian authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aItalian literature$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEast Indian American women$xIntellectual life. 615 0$aImmigrants' writings$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEast Indians$xIntellectual life. 615 0$aEmigration and immigration in literature. 615 0$aAfricans$xIntellectual life. 615 0$aEast Indian Americans in literature. 615 0$aPostcolonialism in literature. 615 0$aSouth Asians in literature. 615 0$aWomen and literature. 676 $a820.9/9287/0954 700 $aPonzanesi$b Sandra$f1967-$01462597 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808148903321 996 $aParadoxes of postcolonial culture$93976761 997 $aUNINA
