Multicultural writing’ is no longer viewed as a left handed compliment. It is not restricted to a minority group or set of people or a specific region. More and more support has made it a formidable force to reckon with, as it slowly moved from the margins to the centre. It has gained in stature and a rare splendour extends new dimension and meaning. It is seen as a great integrating component of literary studies.
Multicultural literature equips people to realise that there is a rightful place for every one and it is imperative to adjust one’s perspective to co-exist peacefully with all. It is strongly felt that it also enables the subaltern groups to shed their ‘inferiority’ tendencies, empowering disadvantaged sections. While offering the pleasure of reading, multicultural literature enlightens the elite to deprecate racist approaches, develop anti-racism and shed ethnic discrimination in their day-to-day transactions, fostering fraternity among diverse groups of people across the continents. Margaret Walker, Rita Dove, Wole Soyinka,Richard Wright, Alice Walker, V.S.Naipaul, Amitav Ghosh, Rohinton Mistry among others have enriched multicultural literature with their creative work. This book carries twenty two research papers and an interesting interview with a muldimensional writer. It is fervently hoped that this book gets patronage of all discerning lovers of literature.
