Diasporic writing achieves the purpose of celebrating marginality and embracing multiculturalism and diversity. Fiction written by Indian and Pakistani immigrant writers poses several challenges and explores diverse issues of race and identity, as evident in the works of Kiran Desai, Salman Rushdie, Jhumpa Lahiri, Hanif Kureishi and Mohsin Hamid. The present volume celebrates the emergence of a truly rich and varied crop of expatriate writing on the contemporary literary horizon.
