Table of ContentsReviews"""This is an alternative Caribbean literary history that expands the scope of narratives available for a reading of the Indo-Caribbean through the inclusion of a diverse set of new as well as well-established literary texts. It resituates the idea of the Indo-Caribbean as an analogue to Afro-Caribbean creolizing processes; through this, it also reimagines the connection to India in the making of the indenture stories in the Caribbean. It is deeply observant and wide-ranging in its exciting explorations.""--Anjali Nerlekar ""author of Bombay Modern: Arun Kolatkar and Bilingual Literary Culture"" ""Contradictory Indianness continues the urgent work of uncoupling Indo-Caribbean studies from glances backward at India and rightly identifies Indo-Caribbean literature as a radical and uniquely Caribbean project of challenging orthodoxies and forging belonging. In turning her attention to under-examined writers from the Indo-Caribbean canon, Phukan offers us both an astute explication of post-indentureship aesthetics and a more expansive understanding of how creolization plays out for Indo-Caribbean writers.""--Lisa Outar ""co-editor of Indo-Caribbean Feminist Thought: Genealogies, Theories, Enactments""" """This is an alternative Caribbean literary history that expands the scope of narratives available for a reading of the Indo-Caribbean through the inclusion of a diverse set of new as well as well-established literary texts.
