Identity, Diaspora and Multiculturalism: A Postcolonial Discourse.

      Аннотация: The book is an anthology of eleven critical essays selected from Modern Research Studies: an International Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences from its sixteen issues published in the last four years. Edited by Gyanabati Khuraijam, it covers a wide range of essays with an attempt to bring together a variety of literary works observed from different perspectives of post-colonialism. Works include studies on Wilkie Collins’s The Moonstone, Amitav Ghosh’s The Circle of Reason, The Shadow Lines, The Glass Palace, Countdown, and Sea of Poppies, Rushdie’s Haroun and the Sea of Stories, Jhumpa Lahiri’s Short Stories, Kim Scott's Benang, Hanif Kureishi’s The Buddha of Suburbia & The Black Album as well as a literary essay on multiculturalism and its ambiguities. This collection of critical essays will offer new thoughts and impetus to postcolonial studies and further research on the topic. The book might prove to be a rich source of information to students, scholars, and academicians interested in postcolonial studies.
