MEMORY AS HIS(HER)STORY. INTERSECTIONALITY AND DIASPORA AS CAPTURED IN THE SHORT STORIES OF SHAUNA SINGH BALDWIN

Summary/Abstract: An important strand in 20th century writing is diasporic writing from the intersectional space. Though fairly restricted in the actual body of work writing by diasporic women embodies power, through themes, characters, style, plots or approach. An important voice from this space is that of Shauna Singh Baldwin, whose writing is interesting, due to the concerns it raises, its craftsmanship, the space from which it emerges and the nuances in character or theme. Engaging with her short stories, this paper views her writing as representative of the intersectional diasporic space, to understand the dilemmas faced, despite seeming multiculturalism.
