"Postcolonial Disaster creates a narratology for postcolonial disaster fiction; through a rigorous engagement with disaster studies, the book also interjects the humanities, as well as humanistic inquiry, in a well-established discipline anchored mostly to the social sciences. The book will be of interest to scholars, teachers, graduate and undergraduate students in the humanities and in the allied social sciences such as anthropology, geography, and political science"--

This collection offers an essential, structured survey of contemporary fictions of South Asia in English, and includes specially commissioned chapters on each of the national traditions of the region. It covers less well known writings from Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh as well as the more firmly established canon of contemporary Indian literature, and features chapters on important new and emergent forms such as the graphic novel, genre fiction and the short story. It also contextualizes some key ‘transformative’ aspects of recent fiction such as border and diaspora identities; new middle-class narratives and popular genres; and literary response to terror and conflict. Edited and designed with researchers and students in mind, the book updates existing criticism and represents a readable guide to a dynamic, rapidly changing area of global literature.
