In this age of globalisation, when the cultures are becoming deterritoralised, in this book the works of three transcultural writers, Shyam Selvadurai, Michael Ondatjee and Yasmine Goonaratne have been analysed, by challenging the outmoded nationalist and universalist paradigms, evoking a rethinking as to where and how cultures are located and also how to create new literary spaces in the formation of subjectivity in diasporic and postnational contexts, without diffusing or homogenising disparate cultures and identities. Their literature conveys an appeal for new regenerative politics, which recognises identities as combination of multiple traits and loyalities and allows all ethnic groups access to democratic politics yet priviliges none and does not include provision that guarantees the survival of such groups this position being comparable with the contigent and transcultural nature of cultures.The book examines the attempts of these versatile authors who, in order to express complexities of diasporic experience, adapt techniques of diasporic writing. Investigating in approach, this book offers new insights into the fast growing area of South Asian Diasporic Writing.
