Negotiating Gender and Sexuality in Contemporary Turkey is an essential tool for scholars and students of Middle Eastern literature, Turkish literature and culture, gender and sexuality studies, modern and postmodern literature, postcolonial and feminist literature and studies, cultural studies, religious studies, and women's studies.

The re-conceptualization of South Africa as a democracy in 1994 has influenced the production and reception of texts in this nation and around the globe. The literature emerging after 1994 provides a vision for reconciling the fragmented past produced by the brutality of apartheid policies and consequently shifting social relations from a traumatized past to a reconstructed future. The purpose of the essays in this anthology is to explore, within the literary imagination and cultural production of a post-apartheid nation and its people, how the trauma and violence of the past are reconciled through textual strategies. What role does memory play for the remembering subject working through the trauma of a violent past?

This collection explores themes of exile, identity, and diaspora through various lenses. It begins with the writer's niche, examining the experiences of dislocation. Contributions discuss the complexities of transnational identity, particularly through the character Gogol Ganguly. The narratives extend to the Indian diaspora in Burma, analyzing globalization's impact in works by Amitav Ghosh and Mira Kamdar. Women's voices in diaspora are highlighted, questioning who represents figures like Jasmine and exploring Meena Alexander's life-writing as a reflection of migrating selves. The advantage of estrangement is considered in Mukherjee's work. Theoretical responses map urban landscapes, such as Durban in Aziz Hassim's writing, and discuss the implications of translation in a global context. The dichotomy of "good" and "evil" in Salman Rushdie's "The Satanic Verses" is also examined, alongside Fiji Indian perspectives on exile and homeland. The teaching of diaspora literature in diverse settings is addressed. Comparative analyses reveal nomadic identities in Vassanji's works, the cultural production within the South Asian diaspora, and the hybrid identities present in East African Asian writing. The collection concludes with reflections on the perspectives offered by Vassanji's Toronto and Durrell's Alexandria, enriching the discourse on identity and belonging across cultures.

The book explores the interplay of colonial and national narratives in shaping gender identity through the lens of Western-educated African and South Asian women’s literature. It delves into how these texts reflect resistance against dominant cultural constructs, offering insights into the complexities of identity both at home and within the diaspora. By examining various literary works, it highlights the unique experiences and voices of women from these regions, contributing to a broader understanding of gender, culture, and post-colonial discourse.
