"In the first published book-length study of Indian fiction in South Africa, Pallavi
Rastogi demonstrates that Indians desire South African citizenship in the fullest
sense of the word, a longing for inclusion that is asserted through an "Afrindian"
identity. Afrindian Fictions: Diaspora, Race, and National Desire in South Africa
examines Afrindian identity and blurs the racial binary of black and white interaction
in South African studies as well as unsettles the East-West paradigm of migration
dominant in South Asian diaspora studies." "Afrindian Fictions is a valuable introduction
to South African Indian literature as well as a major interrogation of some of the
foundational notions of postcolonial literary studies."--Jacket
