Sarah ANYANG AGBOR’S text is a conceptual, historical and functional examination of Commonwealth Literature. The text comes across as a nice way to review some of the essential conceptual and historical development of Commonwealth literature. This text will be of special interest for students in Commonwealth studies.The work responds to two ways of looking at Commonwealth literature. The fi rst is a conceptual defi nition, historical development and diversifi cation of Commnwealth Literature. The other is to investigate through sociological criticism the various ways Commonwealth Literature dissents . This comparative analysis which is not limited to authors and regions but extends to the erstwhile and the contemporary, offers invaluable insights into the longstanding debates surrounding the concept of Commonwealth Literature in particular and draws conclusions that do not pretend to close the debate but rather articulate the discursive nature of Commonwealth Literature and the ambivalence of its ‘defi - ning’ parameters. Professor Edward Oben Ako

Critical Perspectives on Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni: Feminism and Diaspora offers insights into Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni’s provocative and popular fiction. In their engaging and comprehensive introduction, editors Amritjit Singh and Robin Field explore how Divakaruni’s short stories and novels have been shaped by her own struggles as a new immigrant and by the influences she imbibed from academic mentors and feminist writers of color. Twelve critical essays by both aspiring and experienced scholars explore Divakaruni's aesthetic of interconnectivity and wholeness as she links generations, races, ethnicities, and nations in her depictions of the diversity of religious and ethnic affiliations within the Indian diaspora. The contributors offer a range of critical perspectives on Divakaruni’s growth as a novelist of historical, mythic, and political motifs. The volume includes two extended interviews with Divakaruni, offering insights into her personal inspirations and social concerns, while also revealing her deep affection for South Asian communities, as well as an essay by Divakaruni herself—a candid expression of her artistic independence in response to the didactic expectations of her many South Asian readers.

This book offers a new reading of the Caribbean Nobel Laureate Derek Walcott, by not only focusing on his totally neglected essays, but also introducing him as a postcolonial theoretician. Probing into Walcott’s writings, the study singles out a set of concepts that parallel, support and sometimes precedes most of the seminal views in postcolonial theory. Wedding theory to practice, the book takes the reader on a scholarly trip whereby Walcott’s theoretical views are applied on his poems.
