This volume revaluates the postcolonial narratives of Indian diaspora crafted by diasporic Indian writers. What mainly comes under its scanner is the complex experience of migrancy, involving both cultural hybridization and assimilation on the one hand and lingering nostalgia and cultural alienation on the other. Its critique of the recent and not so recent diasporic texts, at once searching and perceptive, foregrounds the deterritorialized, expatriate sensibility of their authors. Noticeably, the study argues that this sensibility blends seamlessly with various prominent features of this variety of diasporic writing. For instance of individuation and self-defenition in Rushdie, of conquest of rootlessness in Jhumpa Lahiri, of cultural inbetweenness in B. Rajan, and of the special charms of diasporic sensibility itself in Naipaul.
