| Abstract | "Women and the word "marginalization" have never remained oxymoronic -- the cross-cultural texts and Engel's interest in subjugation make a perfect recipe for this incongruity. Multicultural and Marginalized Voices of Postcolonial Literature traces multifarious facets of marginalized literature across the world, giving a brilliant overview of the historical roots of multicultural and marginalized sections. The fourteen chapters relate key literary and cultural texts and cover a broad spectrum of historical, linguistic, and theoretical issues. There are three sections in the book -- section I deals specifically with theoretical constructions and representations. Section II offers a varied spectrum of discourses on world literature, intersecting with the frameworks of literary theories. Section III explores the minds of dalits, subalterns, colonial women, and gender issues, and a variety of Indian English writers that draw varied perspectives"-- Provided by publisher. |
