In this period of globalization, many individuals are trying to upgrade the life and for that most of them are now migrating to other lands. In the process of getting settle in new land they encounter many problems. The issue of migration and immigration brings forward the question of exile, identity, assimilation, memory, nostalgia, hopelessness, uprootedness, hybridity and so on. Indian writers have beautifully picked up experiences of such people and penned them down. Such writing is called ‘Diaspora Literature’, wherein immigrant experiences have been shared through literature. This type of literature includes expatriate stories, refugee chronicles and immigrant narratives. The present anthology Indian Diaspora Literature: A Critical Evaluation covers as many as twenty articles where the authors have discussed innumerable issues and challenges as confronted by Indian immigrants due to their distance and dislocation from their familiar homeland to the alien hostland, irrespective of what kind of exile they follow: forced or voluntary. Apart from bringing into surface the migratory problems, the anthology also sheds light on the complexities that arise out of such migration. Some of the notable Indian writers who have been given room in this book are V. S. Naipaul, Amitav Ghosh, Rohinton Mistry, Jhumpa Lahiri, Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, Anita Desai and Kiran Desai to name a few. Authors have tried to give their best outputs to reach this anthology to its intended goal. Hopefully this book will be helpful to both students and scholars alike.

This book maps the new formations in the Indian diaspora by considering its literary and cultural representations. It examines how contemporary Indian diaspora literature(s) and films produced in the last 20 years have tried to negotiate the changing experiences of the Indian diaspora communities across the globe. The book studies how Indian diaspora writers/ film makers have been negotiating issues like inter/intra-community diasporic interactions and the transformation of the relationships between the host country and the Indian diaspora communities due to changes in the nature of capital flow, transnational trade, and globalization. It also looks at the responses of these writers/film makers to the changes in the immigration policies of the host countries in the face of terrorist threats. In so doing, the book examines how far the representations of the hostland and the homeland by the contemporary Indian diaspora writers/film makers are mediated by certain factors relating to the production and consumption of Indian diaspora literature/films.

Adopting the concept of diaspora--literally dispersal, or the scattering of a people--to the historical and contemporary presence of people of Indian subcontinental origin in other areas of the world, Emmanuel Nelson uses this paradigm to analyze Indian expatriate writing. In Reworlding, Nelson has commissioned fourteen critical essays by as many scholars to examine major areas of the diaspora--among them Britain, the United States, Canada, Trinidad, Fiji, Singapore, East and South Africa--and prominent literary figures, including Salman Rushdie, V. S. Naipaul, Kamala Markandaya, Bharati Mukherjee, and Raja Rao. Collectively, the essays demonstrate that the various literary traditions within the Indian diaspora share certain common resonances engendered by historical connections, spiritual affinities, and racial memories. Individually, they provide challenging insights into the particular experiences and writers. At the core of the diasporic writing is the haunting presence of India and the shared anguish of personal loss that generate the aesthetics of reworlding underlying and unifying this body of literature. This collection will be of value to scholars and students of Indian writing in English, postcolonial writing in general, and the literature of exile and immigration.

Indian Writers attempt to locate diasporic voices in the interstitial spaces of countless ideologies. The anthology provides a critical examination of dislocated diasporic subjects - those who have adjusted to the dislocation well, those who have chosen the hybrid spaces for empowerment, those who are dragged forcefully to various territories, and yet those who gleefully inhabit trans-local spaces. A wide range of voices raise these critical questions: How do we read these voices? How are the voices received in various locations? Are these voices considered Indian? Do they represent Indianness, or some hybridized version of it? What is an authentic cultural identity? What, ultimately, is Indianness, or for that matter, any hard-won national or ethnic identity? Additionally, as more female writers are being read, both in the global south and in the north, the reception of these texts, particularly in an era of globalization, and in the aftermath of the 9/11 attack in the United States, raises questions on how the «other», the subaltern, is represented and read. Some writers use an assimilationist approach to the cultures of the West to such a degree that they find Indian culture monolithically oppressive, while others continue to romanticize Indianness, yet others eroticize and ethnicize the east for western consumption. The authors of the essays in this anthology examine contemporary debates in postcolonial and transnational literary criticism in an attempt to understand the often complex and hybrid narratives of the diasporic Indian subject.

This book presents a critical study of diasporic literature of Indian writers! Diaspora Literature helps people to understand the background history of their native land. Each society has a different cultural and historical background and it depends on the dominant society. Diaspora is not a new genre; it has its root in history and religion. Diasporic literature is a broad concept. It consists of all literary works written by the authors, who have settled outside their native country and have written on the culture and tradition of their homeland. We have different aspects regarding diasporic sensibility in literary works. Migration is one of the most important aspects of it. It denotes movement of living beings and human migration of people to different space. Diaspora literature also seeks the idea of cultural hybridity and multiculturalism. It perceives ethnic qualities inside a particular geographical habitation. It draws others to be benefited by the commitments to society made by individuals from various ethnic foundations. This book is intended for university level students and teachers, researchers and other informed readers with an interest in the above subject, and serves as both a survey of the field and an intervention within it.

This book is the first to provide an accessible overview of the critical trends in Diaspora criticism and to critically evaluate the major Diaspora critics and their models, with the aim of adding to the debate on methodology.

Targeted at both academic and general readers interested in gender and diaspora, as well as Indian literature, this collection is an eclectic selection of works by both established academics and emerging scholars from different parts of the world and with diverse backgrounds. It brings together multiple approaches to the predicament of belonging and the creation of identities, while showcasing the range and depth of the Indian diaspora and the diversity of its literary productions.
