Grewal combines a postcolonial perspective with social and cultural theory to argue that contemporary notions of gender, race, class, and nationality are linked to earlier histories of colonization. Through an analysis of Mattelâs sales of Barbie dolls in India, she discusses the consumption of American products by middle-class Indian women newly empowered with financial means created by Indiaâs market liberalization. Considering the fate of asylum-seekers, Grewal looks at how a global feminism in which female refugees are figured as human rights victims emerged from a distinctly Western perspective. She reveals in the work of three novelists who emigrated from India to the United StatesâBharati Mukherjee, Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, and Amitav Ghoshâa concept of Americanness linked to cosmopolitanism. In Transnational America Grewal makes a powerful, nuanced case that the United States must be understoodâand studiedâas a dynamic entity produced and transformed both within and far beyond its territorial boundaries.
About: In Transnational America, Inderpal Grewal examines how the circulation of people, goods, social movements, and rights discourses during the 1990s created transnational subjects shaped by a global American culture.
