Summary:

"This open access book casts light on an understudied corpus of Indian Francophone literatures by writers and translators originally from former French territories of India and beyond. Sheela Mahadevan explores how and why these authors write between French and Indian languages and literatures. The book thereby advances theorization of multilingualism and translation, and contributes to discourse on Indian translation traditions, including the concept of 'transcreation', and the boundaries of literary translation"-- Provided by publisher.
