Ruvani Ranasinha, "South Asian Writers in Twentieth-Century Britain: Culture in Translation"
Oxford University Press | ISBN 0199207771 | 2007 | PDF | 1 MB | 313 pages
This is the first book to provide a historical account of the publication and reception of South Asian anglophone writing from the 1930s to the present, based on original archival research drawn from a range of publishing houses. This comparison of succeeding generations of writers who emigrated to, or were born in, Britain examines how the experience of migrancy, the attitudes towards migrant writers in the literary market place, and the critical reception of them, changed significantly throughout the twentieth century.
