A detailed and incisive exploration of the ways that gender complicates our understanding of peripheral modernity, Sreya Chatterjee's portrait of Irish and Indian women's writing in the contemporary era vividly captures literature's role in exposing the social contradictions of our times. Bringing together approaches to world literature, combined and uneven development, and feminist criticism, Family Fictions and World Making renews the prospects for a materialist feminism attuned to the entwinement of public and private, selfhood and sociality, as well as labor and capital. Keya Ganguly, University of Minnesota
