Making the difference: The differing presentations and representations of South Asia in the contemporary fiction of home and diasporic South Asian women writers
Article Abstract:
An argument on the writers who enjoy an advantage in terms of their profile and its impact on the representation of South Asia, especially beyond the Indian sub-continent is done. One important factor contributing to the accessibility of South Asian women's literature is generally more inclined to a hybridity of cultural norms, explaining South Asian culture even as it portrays it.
