Bangladeshi Novels in English: Cultural Contact and Migrant Subjectivityis the first comprehensive study of Bangladeshi migration and diasporas through eight seminal Bangladeshi novels in English from the late twentieth and twenty-first centuries: Adib Khan'sSeasonal AdjustmentsandSpiral Road, Farhana H. Rahman'sThe Eye of the Heart, Monica Ali'sBrick Lane, Manzu Islam'sBurrow, Nashid Kamal'sThe Glass Bangles, Zia H. Rahman'sIn the Light of What We Know, and Tahmima Anam'sThe Bones of Grace. The book situates the study within the English-language literary history and linguistic ethnography of Bangladesh while unveiling the complexities of Bangladeshi Muslim migration from men, women, and children's perspectives. It challenges the stereotyping of Bengali Muslim migrants as a failure of immigration and multiculturalism and offers a fresh view on cultural contact and the formation of migrant subjectivity at the intersections of gender, race, religion, class, culture, ethnicity, history, politics, and personality.
