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. 000763028 650_0 $$aLiterature, Modern$$y20th century. 000763028 650_0 $$aLiterature, Modern$$y21st century. 000763028 650_0 $$aOriental literature. 000763028 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9781137403049 000763028 852__ $$bebk 000763028 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1057/978-1-137-40305-6$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000763028 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:763028$$pGLOBAL_SET 000763028 980__ $$aEBOOK 000763028 980__ $$aBIB 000763028 982__ $$aEbook 000763028 983__ $$aOnline 000763028 994__ $$a92$$bISE
