Oppositional Aesthetics by Arun Mukherjee, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Oppositional Aesthetics: Readings from a Hyphenated Space opens up a new perspective in reading Canadian literature written by first- and second-generation immigrants. Author Arun Mukherjee disputes the concept of universal tastes and aesthetics, arguing that minority writers’ work be understood in their own terms. The book includes writing from authors such as Rohinton Mistry, Neil Bissoondath, Michael Ondaatje and Earle Birney as case examples in Mukherjee’s discussion. In addition, it examines antiracist and feminist viewpoints. | Oppositional Aesthetics by Arun Mukherjee, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
