Translation and Bilingualism in Monica Ali’s and Jhumpa Lahiri’s Marginalized Identities
2012
This study, drawing upon contemporary theories in the field of migration, postcolonialism, and translation, offers an analysis of literary works by Monica Ali (of Bangladeshi origins) and Jhumpa Lahiri (of Bengali Indian parents).
