South Asian American Writers: Geography and Memory.

Katrak, Ketu H.

Amerasia Journal, v22 n3 p121-38 1996

Explores post-1965 South Asian American writers writing in English and the role of geography and memory and how political and societal factors of the "capitalist new world order" continue to determine the physical and metaphorical location of postcolonial writers in the diaspora. It examines South Asian American writers' compelling evocations of geographical concepts--space, location, and landscape. (GR)
