Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Some general edgewear. Some minor marks on book foredges.

A dazzling collection of short stories and poetry by Australian writers of Indian origin.

Cultures collide as children encounter racism in the playgrounds of Canberra, migrant women scrounge for a living nursing Melbourne's elderly, and a young author moves to a strange and unfamiliar country where she suffers from dreamlessness.

These searing works bring new meaning to the field of Asian-Australian writing and new perspectives on the Indian diasporic experience. Though the field of Indian-Australian writing is still small, this vibrant mix of emerging and established writers shows it is by no means a homogenous entity. Bold, experimental and wildly original, Of Indian Origin unapologetically tackles issues of home and provides a unique overview of how Indian-Australian literary writing has developed over half a century.
