Foreword I am extremely delighted to note that the Department of English is bringing out a book on relevant issues relating to Remapping Identity, Culture and History through Literature in collusion with Veda Publications. The essays by erudite academicians and research scholars probe deeply into assorted aspects of modern global issues of Identity, Culture and History, a multidisciplinary perspective. This book deals with cross references that connect Literature with Culture and History of various works of authors dealing with cultural aspects and Identity crisis globally. Diversified poems, novels and plays written by authors throw light on the current burning issue of diaspora and cultural conflicts. The younger generation will glean awareness on various sensitive issues like marginalization and trauma of migration that confronts people today. I am sure this book will give numerous ideas which will be an eye opener to many issues through a plethora of literary genres.
