These are times of upheaval when one is assaulted physically, emotionally and psychologically from all quarters. Despite the trauma, however, one survives and carries on in the best way possible. How literature resorts to the turbulence of our time and how the reader responds to the understanding of such circumstances was the theme of the 2007 MELUS-lndia (Multi-Ethnic Literature of the United States) and MELOW (Multi-Ethnic Literature of the World) Conference. This volume brings together selected and peer reviewed scholarly papers from this International Conference. Divided into three sections, Background and Theory, American Perspectives and World Perspectives, scholars from India and around the world address the theme of violence as reflected in different literary genres.
