Focusing on the portrayal of family, this book critically examines Meena Alexander's novels, particularly "Nampally Road" and "Manhattan Music," within the immigrant context. It addresses themes such as neo-feudalism, gender issues, identity crises, and the emotional struggles of alienation and trauma faced by immigrants. The exploration of cultural hybridity, social upheaval, and the complexities of race, class, and ethnicity are central to the analysis. This work serves as a valuable resource for scholars and academics interested in Indian Writing in English and family dynamics.
