Diasporic Consciousness of Malaysian Indian Writings in English

Most investigations of diasporic consciousness in literary texts presume it is homogeneous. It is essential to acknowledge that heterogeneity exists in the literature of diaspora as there are various elements that influence one’s diasporic experience. There is a need to address this issue as class, gender, ethnic groups and culture lead to different encounters, resulting in a diversity of consciousness and discovery. This book focuses on the key features of diasporic consciousness in selected works of Malaysian Indians writing in English. Through exploring the ways these texts reflect the setting of a multi-cultural nation, it hopes to provide a more nuanced understanding of generational experiences of the Malaysian Indian community.
