The book focuses on the representations of female sexuality and the body in South Asian American women’s fiction. It analyzes several novels and over a dozen short stories to explore the mechanisms employed by women writers of South Asian descent to challenge the culturally sanctioned role of the female body as the carrier of cultural tradition.
