001450664 520__ $$aThis book analyzes precarious conditions and their manifestations in recent South Asian literature in English. Themes of disability, rural-urban division, caste, terrorism, poverty, gender, necropolitics, and uneven globalization are discussed in this book by established and emerging international scholars. Drawing their arguments from literary works rooted in the neoliberal period, the chapters show how the extractive ideology of neoliberalism invades the cultural, political, economic, and social spheres of postcolonial South Asia. The book explores different forms of "precarity" to investigate the vulnerable and insecure life conditions embodied in the everyday life of South Asia, enabling the reader to see through the rhetoric of  "rising Asia". Om Prakash Dwivedi is Associate Professor of English Literature and Head of the School of Liberal Arts at Bennett University, India. He is the co-author of Re-Orientalism and Indian Writing in English (Palgrave Macmillan, 2014).
