This Book is an attempt to explore the writings of the contemporary novelists like Githa Hariharan, Rohinton Mistry, Gloria Naylor, Toni Morrison and Bapsi Sidhwa, and tries to see how their texts display the apparently contradictory features of ethnicity and trans-culturalism with such ease. This Book is an attempt to put forward the writers of the Indian diaspora, Pakistani diaspora, black writers of American origin and a native writer of Indian origin who enriched the Indian literature as well as world literature through her literary contributions.
