About this book

This book offers a critical lens to examine the socio-economic struggles and class dynamics of South Asian diasporic characters in Indian writing from the Gulf. It highlights how South Asian migrant characters remain hanging in a limbo in the exploitative neo-liberal capitalist structures of the Gulf. This book analyzes how the South Asian diasporic characters in such texts remain alienated from both their homeland and the host societies of the Gulf which is reflective of the commodification of labor in a transnational context. This book foregrounds the literature that often portrays the disillusionment of South Asian migrant characters whose dream of being prosperous clashes with the harsh realities of low wages, poor living conditions, and lack of basic migrant rights. Marxist critiques reveal the contradictions of globalization and neoliberal economies that perpetuate cross border inequalities. By foregrounding class struggle, this book emphasizes the systemic oppression faced by South Asian migrants and the socio-political conditions that reduce them to mere voiceless laboring bodies.
