Naming Jhumpa Lahiri: Canons and Controversies

This collection of nine essays by scholars in the fields of postcolonial, Asian American, and other literary studies explains why categorizing the best-selling, award-winning work of Jhumpa Lahiri as either universally "great" and/or ethnically specific matters, to whom, and how paying attention to these questions can deepen students', general readers', and academic scholars' appreciation for the politics surrounding Lahiri's works and understanding of the literary texts themselves.
