Reviews
“Ranasinha’s study, by fulfilling her promise of breadth across subcontinental and diasporic locations, enables future work that can then situate more extensive thematic readings within the frame she establishes. … studies advance feminist, postcolonial and literary studies through inclusion of postcolonial realism’s contributions to discussions of intimacy, form and space in South Asian women’s fiction.” (Anna Thomas, Interventions, Vol. 19 (3), 2017)
“Ruvani Ranasinha’s new book provides an important re-evaluation of South Asian women writers, combining readings of canonical authors such as Arundhati Roy, Monica Ali and Kamila Shamsie with lesser-known figures such as Sorayya Khan and Tahmima Anam. … this book will undoubtedly prove to be a cornerstone critical text for the future development of postcolonial studies.” (Dominic Davies, Journal of Postcolonial Writing, 2017)
“This is a timely reminder of the inter-regional dialogues taking place among contemporary women writers from Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. Locating their fiction in a more fluid, transnational feminist framework than is often the case, Ranasinha provides an accessible introduction to their distinctive approaches to questions of religion, globalisation and violence in and beyond South Asia.” (Alex Padamsee, University of Kent, UK)
