1	New heroines of the diaspora : reading gender identity in South Asian diasporic fiction Banerjee, Lopa 06 1900 (has links) This thesis looks at literature by two South Asian, diasporic writers, Jhumpa Lahiri and Monica Ali, as a space where creative, cross-cultural and independent identities for diasporic women might be created. The central claim of the thesis is that diasporic migration affects South Asian women in particular ways. The most positive outcome is that these women adopt new trans-border identities but that these remain shaped by class, culture and gender. Hence a working class milieu such as the one depicted by Monica Ali, leads to an immigrant, ghetto-ised, community-based identity, located solely in the land of adoption, with return or travel to the homeland no longer possible. However, the milieu imagined in Jhumpa Lahiri’s text, a middle-class, suburban environment, creates a solitary, transnational identity, lived between countries, where travel between the land of birth and the land of adoption remains accessible. / English / M.A. (English) Diaspora Gender England Food and familiarity Marriage and love Immigrant Women Cross-cultural Agency and identity South Asian Working class Middle class USA Trans-border Homeland Adopted land Class Home and exile Choice and voice Community 823.9954 South Asian literature (English) Gender identity in literature Women immigrants -- Fiction
