The Handbook of Diasporic Indian Writing in English is an essential reference to Indian literature. It features alphabetical entries of Indian writers who have bridged the gap between cultures and redefined language boundaries. As the field of diasporic writing continues to expand and intersect with various branches of English and Cultural studies, it anticipates a growing market. It offers a unique and compelling perspective on the global tapestry of literature. It draws on various interdisciplinary approaches, including postcolonial theory, cultural studies, and digital humanities, to offer fresh and innovative perspectives on the literature. It is an indispensable resource for research scholars of literary studies and related disciplines, like cultural studies and postcolonial studies.
