Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Contents Preface. 1. Introduction. 2. Locating the Diasporic discourse in postcolonial/postmodern contexts. 3. Karma Cola a cross cultural feast. 4. Raj between Rajniti and Kootniti. 5. A River Sutra secular humanist view. 6. Snakes and Ladders snapshots of a nation. Conclusion. Bibliography. Index. This study places Gita Mehta's works fiction and non fiction in the framework of Diasporic Studies and tries to ascertain how the author responds to the Indian realities vis a vis her western experience. To Gita India is home. Home stands for a safe place where there is no need to justify oneself to others but as a member of the Diaspora she ought to redefine her position. That she should feel the need to explicate and explain herself and her culture to the west is in itself an acknowledgement of cultural differences felt by the Diasporic consciousness. The book focuses on the fact that though she looks at her country with the bemused gaze of an outsider her strong urge to recover the lost essence and to return to the folds of her culture become explicitly obvious. Her works are set in India but they move in and out of the two cultures blending subjective experience with observations and imagination to recreate India that was and India that is. In dealing with Mehta's works one explores a varied territory of genre fiction non fiction and prose. The analysis yields the author's vision of certainty and faith in her culture and traditions but also her disappointment with the changing scenario of fast deteriorating values and overt materialism. However she camouflages her disillusionment underneath her flamboyant optimism and keen sarcasm. 204 pp.…
