Reviews
Esterino Adami's book offers a fresh and compelling account of what he terms as 'postcolonial stylistics', essential for examining the linguistic representation of identity, society, and culture in contemporary Indian Writing in English. It is a well-researched book and will add to the existing scholarship on IWE and postcolonial studies. Om Prakash Dwivedi, Bennett University, India At last, a volume that takes equally seriously the linguistic content and literary criticism in recent Indian writing! Adami has taken on the challenge of the new postcolonial stylistics, and combines many different tools of the trade to give us in-depth analyses. Peter K. W. Tan, National University of Singapore, Singapore
