The book discuss some aspects of post colonialism, biculturalism,
immigration and the politics of identity with specific relevance to the
issues of female identity. The book also holds up for view and analyses
Bharati Mukherjee's perspectives on the demystification of identity with
particular relevance to the novels undertaken for the analysis. The book
renders a brief overview of post-colonial theory and its praxis keeping
in view the particularities of the issues of identity and a critical
perspective on Bharati Mukherjee's approach to the issue of immigration
and
bi- culturalism, its impact on identity reconstruction in the modern
society and necessary narratives as a whole. However, the transformation
of Bharati Mukherjee as a writer and a dweller of the new world happened
with the act of immigration in the United States in 1980.
