Beschreibung:
This international collection of essays examines contemporary English-language poetry from South Asia. The contributors discuss women’s issues, the concerns of marginalized groups—such as the Dalit community and the people of Northeastern India—social changes in Sri Lanka, and the changing society of Pakistan.
This collection uses a transnational approach to study contemporary English-language poetry composed by poets of South Asian origin. The poetry contains themes, motifs, and critiques of social changes, and the contributors seek to encapsulate the continually changing environments that these contemporary poets write about.
The contributors show that English-language poetry in South Asia is hybridized with imagery and figurative language adapted from the vernacular languages of South Asia. The chapters examine women’s issues, concerns of marginalized groups—such as the Dalit community and the people of Northeastern India—, social changes in Sri Lanka, the changing society of Pakistan, and the formation of the identity in the several nation states that resulted from the British colony of India.
