Thesis (Ph.D.)--Ohio University, 2015.

This dissertation attempts a comparative study of fiction by women writers from the South Asian diaspora in the United States and by women writers who live in India. It examines the possibility of building "unlikely coalitions," to borrow a term from the feminist critic Chandra Talpade Mohanty, between these two ostensibly different groups of writers. This dissertation brings together fiction by the diasporic South Asian writers Jhumpa Lahiri, Bharati Mukherjee, Thrity Umrigar and Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, and homeland writers such as Githa Hariharan and Shashi Deshpande to argue that despite their fraught relationship, these two groups of writers are united by a common interest in the challenges confronting female mobility in different spaces. The four main chapters correspond to the four different modes/sites of mobility that the writers explore --- global migration, the domestic space, the nation-space and the city. Home exists as a common metaphor for these divergent spaces. These writers complicate the idea of home, demonstrating how home has a precarious existence on the borderline between freedom and constraint, safety and danger.
