Literature from the Peripheries: Refrigerated Culture and Pluralism is a collection of chapters dealing with multiple minority cultures from all over the world.

This well-thought and critically written book is a clarion call for humanity to look over the shoulder and see the ghost of civilization receding farther away. The book will interest the readers, scholars, practitioners, and activists who like to explore several cultures and cultural conflicts.

Recenzii
Literature from the Peripheries is a must read for anyone interested in minority cultures and communities globally. The essays are in depth and cover diverse topics making the Book extremely relevant for all Postcolonial scholars.
This book is a timely intervention into the facets of marginalized literature with its emphasis on postcolonial Indian literature. It provides a brilliant study of texts and the thirteen chapters give an insight into a broad spectrum of theoretical and historical issues of marginal literature. This book provides an astute revelation on the discourse of marginality and will be of interest to scholars and students.
Literature from the Peripheries is a well-researched book articulating the need for cultural renaissance and inclusive cultural ecosystem in a liberal democracy like that of India. The book has done justice in navigating the literature of the various ethnic communities which are written both in English as well as in native languages. What is most remarkable about the book is that, it has tried to bring to the fore the 'English' that communities in India and in various parts of the world write with offering a wide scope to understand the dichotomous relationship that emerges out of language differences between people and becomes an overpowering reason for social exclusion. The book rightly, vocalizes the need for appreciating differences to know the richness with which the world is inhabited.
Literature from the Peripheries: Refrigerated Culture and Pluralism is a brilliant collection of essays with an insightful introduction, that transforms our understanding of marginalized voices through the re-reading of texts that instinctively cuts across political and cultural boundaries.
Trajectories of central-marginal interactions have set multiple layers which the authors of this study inspect at length. What kind of actors and communities are there and in what way have their relationships impacted society in general? While the thirteen contributors examine both clashes and connections, resistance and expressions of hybridity and belonging emerge as part of fluid, cohesive or nuanced cultural representations. This volume thus opens up the concept of refrigerated culture, hinting at supremacy and racism, towards a mobile vehicle weaving (post)colonialist views presented by African, Indian or American writers, including Indian-American or Jamaican-American ones.
