Geography Of Voice Canadian Literature

A comprehensive anthology of the best of the poetry, fiction and drama by those writers who trace their ancestry to the Indian subcontinent. The writers included in these pages originate from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri lanka, as well as East and South Africa and the Caribbean. What they have in common besides their ancestry is that they reside in and create their work in Canada.

This anthoogy is a landmark in Canadian literature, being the first detailed compilation of the literature of the recent wave of South Asian immigrants to Canada. As such is should supplement the well-established but outdated anthologies of CanLit.
