Reviews

Multicultural and Marginalized Voices of Postcolonial Literature is a rich collection of essays on how literature has given voice to the unheard, the subaltern voices. The editors have taken pains to provide an insight into various cultures and the way they have tried to suppress and oppress theses voices. -- Mohammad Aslam, Central University of Kashmir
