Indian fiction has caught international attention in the
past few years. As the growing number of Indian literary
works published in English illustrates, English is no longer
the language of the colonists. This course includes poetry,
fiction, postcolonial and feminist theory to uncover class
and gender contradictions in writings within India and the
Indian Diaspora. In addition, we will discuss the history
of 20th century Indo-Anglian literature, the politics
of translation, and the representation of India as the sun
sets on the age of nationalism.
MAJOR READINGS
G.V. Desani, Salman Rushdie, Arundhati Roy,
Vikram Seth, Ismat Chugtai, V.S. Naipaul.
Critical Theory: Gauri Viswanathan, Susie Tharu, Aijaz
Ahmad, Gayatri Spivak.
