This anniversary is the impetus for Bishnupriya Ghosh's exploration of the English language icons of South Asianpost-colonial literature: Salman Rushdie, Vikram Chandra, Amitav Ghosh, Upamanyu Chatterjee and Arundhati Roy. These authors, grouped together as South Asian cosmopolitical writers, produce work challenging and expanding pre-conceived notions of Indian cultural identity, while being sold simultaneously as popular English literature within the global market. This commodification of Indian language and identity reinforces incomplete and simplified images of India and its writers, and at times counteracts the expressed agenda of the writers. In this volume, Ghosh focuses on the politics of language and history, and the related processes of translation and migration within the global network. In so doing, she develops a new approach to literary studies that adapts conventional literary analysis to the pressures, constraints and liberties of the contemporary era of globalization. 606 $aIndic fiction (English)$xHistory and criticism 606 $aPolitics and literature$zIndia 606 $aCosmopolitanism$zIndia 615 0$aIndic fiction (English)$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aPolitics and literature 615 0$aCosmopolitanism 676 $a823/.9109358 700 $aGhosh$b Bishnupriya$0629679 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910970916303321 996 $aWhen Borne Across$91226077 997 $aUNINA
