The book explores the interplay of colonial and national narratives in shaping gender identity through the lens of Western-educated African and South Asian women’s literature. It delves into how these texts reflect resistance against dominant cultural constructs, offering insights into the complexities of identity both at home and within the diaspora. By examining various literary works, it highlights the unique experiences and voices of women from these regions, contributing to a broader understanding of gender, culture, and post-colonial discourse.
