      abstract = {This book is the first comparative analysis of a new  generation of diasporic Anglophone South Asian women  novelists including Kiran Desai, Tahmima Anam, Monica Ali,  Kamila Shamsie and Jhumpa Lahiri from a feminist  perspective. It charts the significant changes these  writers have produced in postcolonial and contemporary  women's fiction since the late 1990s. Paying careful  attention to the authors' distinct subcontinental  backgrounds of Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka - as well  as India - this study destabilises the central place given  to fiction focused on India. It broadens the customary  focus on diasporic writers' metropolitan contexts,  illuminates how these transnational, female-authored  literary texts challenge national assumptions and considers  the ways in which this new configuration of transnational,  feminist writers produces a postcolonial feminist  discourse, which differs from Anglo-American feminism.},
