520			_aWomen Writers of Indian Diaspora comprises thirteen critical essays which explore the complexity, richness and paradoxes that inform the works of Anita Desai, Bharati Mukherji, Jhumpa Lahiri, Chitra Divakaruni, Meera Syal, Abha Dawesar, Anita Rau Badami, Kiran Desai, Kavita Daswani, Monica Pradhan, Shauna Singh Baldwin, Meena Alexander, Suniti Namjoshi and Rishma Dunlop. The articles focusing on poetry, fiction and short fiction by women writers of Indian diaspora offer multidimensional perspectives into the diaspora life by encompassing themes as diverse as exile, nostalgia, rootlessness, alienation, racial and gender discrimination, marginalization, assimilation, identity and cultural hybridization. Some of the contemporary women writers make use of literary space to highlight women's issues and their existential dilemmas through gendered lenses. The book will prove to be of immense help for those working on writers of Indian diaspora.
